The Answer should be A, like a mad man means he is not a mad man. Because the statement is given by himself.

Like a mad man he decided, means he is not a mad man.

Here they only said 'like a mad man'. So it means he may mad or may not. I think answer is D.

As long as he is able to distinguish between the meaning of madness and rationality he is not mad man. So there is no assumption being mad.

He is not mad it is true but when he followed him he acted like a mad so both are correct.

No, a mad man could know that he is a mad man, being a mad man does not disabled that person ability to recognize his own madness.

He follow the person like a mad man, that show he is not a mad man. Because he know the difference between mad man and common man.

I guess the answer is wrong bcoz they have said "Like a ..." so it means for that particular time period he acted as if he was mad.

Answer could have been correct if the question had been "Like a mad man, He decided to follow him" (He in place of I)
