Correct Answer: 5 km


Solution : As per the given information, the movement of a boy will look as follows -

In the Given Figure, A is the starting point and H is the finishing point. So, AH is the distance from the starting point.

Here, AB = 8 km, BC = 3 km , CD = 2 km

And, DE = EF = 1 km

CG = CD + DG = 2 + 1 = 3 km

Now, AH = AB – BH = 8 – 3 = 5 km

So, the distance from the starting point i.e. AH is 5 km.

Hence, the second option is correct.
