Correct Answer: 22 km


Solution :

In the above figure, O is the starting point and T is the finishing point.
A's distance from his initial place in the horizontal direction is (OP + QR).
OP + QR = 7 + 15 = 22 km

So, A is 22 km from the starting point in the horizontal direction. Hence, the second option is correct.
