Correct Answer: 8 km


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

 


In the above figure, O is the starting point for both, D is the finishing point for Seeta and E is the finishing point for Ram. So, DE is the distance between Sita and Ram.
Here, DE = BC
BC = CA + AB = 5 + 3 = 8

So, Sita and Ram are 8 km from each other. Hence, the first option is correct.
