First person walks 25 meters north

then turns left means--- in west direction..in that direction he walks 10 meters.

again he turn left means--- in south direction....walks 20 meters.(here the man walking completely in opposite direction of first condition.)

again turn left and walk 10 meters...i.e in east direction and meets the first line of traverse. thus only 5 METERS AWAY FROM STARTING POINT IN SOUTH DIRECTION.

note---in that problems draw the diagrams.It will be dead easy.after solving 2/3 question,even diagrams also not required.
