The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (D): 40m
Reason: Rajneesh's path forms a rectangle. He walks 35 m east, 20 m south, 35 m west, and 20 m south. The total displacement from the starting point is along the vertical direction, which is 40 m south. Hence, he is 40 m away from his starting point.
