Question : Directions: A farmer is preparing his field. He starts his tractor from the garage and drives 5 km towards the East. From there, he turns right and drives 6 km. Then, he turns right and drives 8 km. Again, he turns right and drives 10 km when his tractor breaks down. What is the shortest distance between his current location and the garage?
Option 1: 5 km
Option 2: 6 km
Option 3: 9 km
Option 4: 2 km
Correct Answer: 5 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the shortest distance between his current location and the garage.
EF = ED – FD (FD = BC) EF = 10 – 6 EF = 4 km FA = FB – AB (FB = DC) FA = 8 – 5 FA = 3 km By using Pythagoras theorem – EA 2 = FA 2 + EF 2 EA 2 = 3 2 + 4 2 EA 2 = 9 + 16 EA = 5 km
So, 5 km is the shortest distance between his current location and garage. Hence, the first option is correct.
