Golu started from his house towards North. After covering a distance of 8 km. he turned towards left and covered a distance of 6 km. What is the shortest distance now from his house?

  • A.10 km.
  • B.16 km.
  • C.14 km
  • D.2 km.

Answer: A

Correct answer: 10 km.

He goes 8 km north, then turns left to go 6 km west. The shortest way home is the hypotenuse: \[ \sqrt{8^2+6^2} = \sqrt{100} = \mathbf{10}\text{ km} \]
