A5 km

B2 km

C3 km

D1 km

Answer:

D. 1 km

Read Explanation:

Manu is 1 km away from his starting point.

Starts at point A: Walks 5 km North to reach point B.
Turns Left: Now facing West, walks 4 km to reach point C.
Turns Left: Now facing South, walks 5 km to reach point D.
Turns Left: Now facing East, walks 5 km to reach point E.

Finding the Distance

Since he was 4 km west of the starting line and walked 5 km back towards the east, he passes his starting line.
Distance = $5\text{ km} - 4\text{ km} = 1\text{ km}$.

Final Answer

He is 1 km east of his starting point.
