Correct Answer: 7 km towards west


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


Now, we have to find the distance between A and B and the direction to reach A –


The distance between A and B = AC + BC
AB = 4 + 3
AB = 7km

So, Pooja needs to drive 7km in the west direction. Hence, the first option is correct.
