Options :
Answer : B
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 12 and 5, which are 144 and 25 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 169. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 13 m. So, the minimum distance here is 13 m.
Q 9 - Saroj started to walk towards West in an open field and stopped after moving 60m. Now she turned to her right-hand side and moved 30 m. How much minimum distance she has to cover to reach his starting point?
