Solution

The correct option is B 3 km
Distance between home and book stall = 500 m

Distance travelled by Sheetal from home to book stall = 500 m
Distance travelled by Sheetal from book stall to home = 500 m

Distance between home and school = 2 km

$∴$ Total distance travelled is given by 500m + 500m + 2 km
= 1 km + 2 km
= 3 km.

(1 km = 1000 m = 500 m + 500 m)
