Correct Answer: 20 √ 2
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the shortest distance between starting point and end point –
Now, find the distance between the starting point and the end point by using Pythagoras' Theorem – (Hypotenuse) 2 = (Perpendicular) 2 + (Base) 2 H 2 = (10 + 10) 2 + (10 + 10) 2 H 2 = (20) 2 + (20) 2 H 2 = 400 + 400 H 2 = 800 H = 20 √ 2
So, the distance between Rohini and the starting point is 20√2 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
