Correct Answer: 5 km towards the south


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

Here, A is the starting point and B is the endpoint.
AE = 8 km; ED = 3 km; DC = 5 km; CF = 8 km; FB = 3 km
Now, find the distance between the starting point and the endpoint –
AB = FO = CF – ED = 8 – 3 = 5 km

So, Prince should drive 5 km towards the south to reach point A. Hence, the second option is correct.
