Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained — no skipped algebra.
Starts at point O, moves 5 km north (point A). - Turns right (east) and walks 3 km (point B). - Turns right again (south) and walks 5 km (point C). - East-West displacement = 3 km east. - North-South displacement = 0, as 5 km north and 5 km south cancel out. - Therefore, Aditi is 3 km east of her starting point.
Final Answer: Option A — 3 km east
