A man walks 12km towards West; takes a right turn and walks 16km.
He then walks 6km towards the starting point and reached the destination.
By applying Pythagoras Theorem:
(AB)2 = (AC)2 + (CB)2
(6 + DB)2 = (16)2 + (12)2
(6 + DB)2 = 256 + 144
6 + DB = √400
DB = 20 - 6
DB = 14 km
Thus, the man is 14 km from the starting point.
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
