Instructions

Ram starts from his home in the morning and moves towards south. He walks straight for 5 km to reach point A. He takes a right turn at A and travels for another 3 km to reach point B. He takes another left turn and walks for 4 km to reach point C. At C, Amit takes a right turn and walks for 3 more km to reach point D. At D, he takes a right turn and travels for 4 km to reach point E.

Question 25

What is the shortest distance between point B and point E?

Solution

From B to E, we can see that Ram would be travelling in a straight line parallel to the line CD and the distance would be same as the length of CD. Therefore, the shortest distance between B and E would be 3 km. Hence, option C is correct
