Options :
Answer : A
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 25 and 10, which are 625 and 100 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 725. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 26.92 m. So, the minimum distance here is 27 m.
Q 8 - Kadam started to move towards North in an open field and stopped after moving 12km. Now he turned to his left-hand side and moved 5km. How much minimum distance he has to cover to reach his starting point?
