Answer: Option D

Explanation :

Consider the solution for the first question of this set.

∴ Effective horizontal distance travelled = 6 + 3 = 9 km

∴ Effective vertical distance travelled = 8 + 4 = 12 km

∴ Distance between starting and end point = $\sqrt{9^{2} + 12^{2}}$ = 15 kms.

Hence, option (d).
