Prakesh starts from point A and drives 11 km towards the south.
He then takes a right turn, drives 7 km, turns right and drives 13 km.
He then takes a right turn and drives 9 km.
He takes a final right turn, drives 2 km and stops at point P
Thus, Prakesh should drive 2 km (9 km - 7 km) in the west direction in order to reach point A again.
Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
