A man walks 3 km east from his house, then turns south and walks 4 km, and finally turns west and walks 6 km. How far is he from his starting point?

Correct Option: 3
The diagram would look like a right-angled triangle, the distance from starting point being the hypotnuse.
Apply Pythagoras Theorem, and we'll see the distance is: (3)2+(4)2=9+16=25=5\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 km
