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 26
What is the shortest distance between Ram’s home and point E?
Solution
From Home to E, Ram has traveled 5 km in south direction
and Ram has traveled ( 3 + 3 ) km = 6 km in West direction.
The shortest distance would be => $$ \sqrt{ 6^2 + 5^2 } $$ km = $$ \sqrt{61} $$ km
Hence, option D is correct
