Correct Answer: 6 km


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

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

In the given figure, A is the starting point and E is the finishing point. So, AE is the distance from the starting point.
Here, DE = 3 km, AB = CD = 6 km and AD = BC = 9 km
Now, AE = AD – DE
AE = 9 – 3
AE = 6 km

So, the distance from the starting point to the endpoint is 6 km. Hence, the second option is correct.
