Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us trace her path as follows :

While walking towards North she turns right , that means she is now heading East.

When heading East she turns right that means she is now heading South.

While heading South she turns left that means she turns back to East and now moving in the East direction.

To the North = 2km

To the East = 3km

To the South = 3.5 km

To the East finally = 1.5 km

The difference between The North and South Distance = 3.5 - 2 = 1.5 Km

This is because she comes back South.

From the starting point she is= 1.5 km + 1.5 km = 3km

She is 3km East
