Incorrect Answer10 km East
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Priya starts by cycling 5 km North.
- She then turns East and cycles 4 km.
- Next, she turns South and cycles 5 km. Now she is back in line with her starting latitude.
- Finally, Priya turns right, which means she cycles 6 km West.
With reference to her starting position:
- She is 2 km West, as she initially moved 4 km East but then went 6 km West, covering a net distance of 2 km to the West.
