Correct Answer: 3.5 km


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


In the figure, A is the starting point and E is the finishing point. So, AE is the distance from the starting point.
Here, BC = AD = 0.5 km, AB = CD = 2 km and DE = 3 km
Now, AE = AD + DE
AE = 0.5 + 3 = 3.5 km

So, the distance from the starting point is 3.5 km. Hence, the first option is correct.
