Correct Answer: 4 km east


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

Now, we have to find distance and the final position with respect to the starting position –

The distance between starting position and end point = 10 – 6 = 4 km

Therefore, the paperboy is in the East direction with respect to his starting position and the distance between his starting point and final point is 4 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
