Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Let IT be (0,0) and ECE be (0,18). Civil is 30m from IT in the NW. Mechanical is West of ECE, meaning its y-coordinate is 18. This aligns horizontally. Civil is 32m North of Mechanical or fits into a standard 18-24-30 right triangle (where base is 24m, height 18m, hypotenuse 30m). Thus, the distance along the horizontal axis mapping to Mechanical is 24m.
