Correct Answer: 100 m
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
In the figure, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point. So, AF is the distance between the house and the park.
By applying the Pythagoras theorem –
(AF)
2
= (AH)
2
+ (HF)
2
= (60)
2
+ (60 + 20)
2
= 3600 + 6400 = 10000
⇒ (AF)
2
= 10000
⇒ AF = 100 m
So, the distance between the house and the park is 100 m. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
