Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's break it down: 
- Initially, Kailash is facing north. 
- He turns right (to face East) and walks 25 metres. 
- He turns left (to face North) and walks 30 metres. 
- He turns right (to face East) and walks 25 metres. 
- He turns right again (to face South) and walks 40 metres. 
Now, Kailash is in the South-East direction from his starting point. Hence, the correct answer is (d) South-East.
