Correct Answer: (c) 26 m

Explanation:

The man starts from point A and goes 24 m due west to point B. From here, he goes 10 m due north and stops at C.

In right triangle ABC,

AB = 24 m

BC = 10 m

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

????????² = ????????² + ????????²

=> 24² + 10²

=> 576 + 100

=> 676

???????? = √676 => 26 m
