Correct Answer: 9 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.
Also, EA = DC = 6 km, and the distance between B to A is –
BA = BE + EA
BA = 3 + 6
BA = 9 km

So, Sunny had to travel 9 km towards the south direction to reach point A from point B. Hence, the first option is correct.
