Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained — no skipped algebra.
First, Anup travels 5 km west. - Then 4 km north. - Again, 5 km west. - Finally, 6 km north. - Horizontal distance is total westward movement (sum of segments parallel to east-west axis): 5 km + 5 km = 10 km. - Vertical movement is northward, which doesn't affect horizontal distance.
Final Answer: Option B — 10 km
