Correct Answer: 78 m
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions. Now, find the shortest distance between the points A and B.
According to the question – AE = 14 m; ED = 21 + 21 = 42 m; DB = 22 m The shortest distance between the points A and B = AE + ED +DB 14 + 42 + 22 = 78 m
So, the shortest distance between A to B is 78 m. Hence, the third option is correct.
