Correct Answer: 8 km


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

Now, we have to find the distance between starting and endpoints. Here, A is the starting point and E is the endpoint.


Distance between starting and endpoints →
AE = DC – AB
AE = 15 – 7
AE = 8 km

So, the distance between the starting and endpoints is 8 km. Hence, the first option is correct.
