Correct Answer: 7 km


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

Here, B is the starting point (Deepa's house) and E is the endpoint (Deepa's school).
AB = 3 km; BC = 4 km; CD = 6 km; DE = X km
As, DE = AC
AC = AB + BC = 3 + 4 = 7
So, DE = AC = 7 km

Thus, the value of X is 7 km. Hence, the second option is correct.
