Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions and then find the distance between the starting point(A) and the endpoint (E) covered by Rama –


From the above diagram, AB = CD = 5 km; BC = AD = 2km; DE = 5 km
AE = AD + DE
AE = 2 + 5 = 7 km

So, Rama needs to walk 7 km straight to reach her home. Hence, the second option is correct.
