The correct answer is

5

Here's how to solve this step-by-step:

  1. Starting Point: Ramesh begins facing North.
  2. First Leg: He takes a right (East) and walks 3 km.
  3. Second Leg: He takes a right (South) at the T-junction and walks 2 km to reach the roundabout.
  4. Total Distance to Roundabout: The total distance covered until the roundabout is 3 km + 2 km = 5 km.

Therefore, Ramesh walked a total of 5 km to reach the roundabout.

The remaining instructions about the roundabout and further directions are irrelevant to the question, which specifically asks about the distance to the roundabout.
