Correct Answer: 9 km


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

Here, B is the starting point (Anita's house) and E is the endpoint (Anita's school).
AB = 3 km; BC = 6 km; CD = 8 km; DE = X km
As, DE = AC
AC = AB + BC = 3 + 6 = 9
So, DE = AC = 9 km

Thus, the value of X is 9 km. Hence, the first option is correct.
