Option 2: 2 km towards west
Option 3: 2 km towards south
Option 4: 3 km towards north
Correct Answer: 2 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 towards which direction should she drive to reach point A again.
Here, A is the starting point and B is the endpoint.
Distance between AB = BE – EA
AB = 4 – 2
AB = 2 km
So, the distance between A and B is 2 km and, she has to turn towards the West direction to reach the starting point. Hence, the second option is correct.
