I would suggest drawing a picture for this problem! I personally solved it like that. The answer is D. When he is walking 50 meters west he is surpassing his normal position by 20 meters west (considering it to be left and right). When he is going north he misses his "y" value point (you could say) by 20 meters as well. In order to go back to the normal position he has to walk 20 meters both north and east. Hope this helped :))

(D) 20 metres East, then 20 metres North.

To solve this, just make sure that there is enough numbers on each to cancel each other out.

Matt walks 30 metres east, and 50 metres west, which means that he needs to walk another 20 metres east to get back to where he was.

Matt walks 70 metres south, and 50 metres north, which means that he needs to walk another 20 metres north to get back to where he was.

This means that (D) is your answer
