Correct Answer: 1 km


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

In the above figure, O is the starting point and D is the finishing point. So, OD is the distance from the starting point.
OD = OA – AD
And, AD = BC = 2 km
Therefore, OD = 3 – 2 = 1 km

So, Ram is 1 km away from his starting point. Hence, the first option is correct.
