Correct Answer: 20 km


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions in the question –

In the above figure, A is the starting point and D is the endpoint. So, AD is the required distance from the starting point.
AD = AE – ED
But, AE = BC = 25
AD = 25 – 5 = 20 km

So, the bus is 20 km from the starting point. Hence, the second option is correct.
