Solution

The correct answer is 2 km.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. Rita drives 25 km north from point A (her starting point).
  2. She realizes she has driven in the wrong direction, so she turns right. In the context of her driving north, turning right means she is now driving east.
  3. She drives 2 km to the east.
  4. She turns right again, which means she is now driving south.
  5. She drives 25 km south.

At this point, she has driven back the same distance south as she initially drove north, so she is now on the same latitude as her starting point (point A). However, she is 2 km to the east of point A.

Therefore, to get back to point A, she needs to cover the 2 km distance to the west. Hence, the correct answer is 2 km.
