Correct Answer: 2 km towards the east


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

Here, A is the starting point, and B is the endpoint.
So, the distance between the starting point and the endpoint is AB.
AB = 8 – 6 = 2

So, he had to travel 2 km towards the east to reach point A. Hence, the third option is correct.
