Solution

The correct option is A 13 km
Let the distances in east be positive and in the west be negative.

Given:
The distance from your home to the club is 10 km to the east.
∴ Distance = +10 km

The distance from your home to your office is 3 km to the west.
∴ Distance = -3 km

So, distance between thec lub and the office = |10 - (-3)| km
= 13 km
