Correct Answer: 2 km


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


Now, we have to find the distance between starting and endpoints.

The endpoint is B, and B is the midpoint of CA, and CB = DE.
BA = CA – CB
BA = 4 – 2
BA = 2 km

So, the distance between the starting point and the endpoint is 2 km. Hence, the second option is correct.
