Correct Answer: 2 km


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

In the above figure, O is the starting point and E is the finishing point. So, OE is M's distance from the starting point to the final point.
OE = CD – AB
OE = 7 – 5 = 2 km

So, M's distance from the starting point to the final point is 2 km. Hence, the second option is correct.
