Point A is 3m in the north of point B. Point D is 2m in the east of point E. Point F is 9m in the west of point G. Point C is 4m in the west of point B. Point C is 3m in the south of point D. Point F is 5m in the south of point E. Point H is 5m in the north of point G. What is the shortest distance between point H and point A?

Point A is 3m in the north of point B. Point D is 2m in the east of point E. Point F is 9m in the west of point G. Point C is 4m in the west of point B. Point C is 3m in the south of point D. Point F is 5m in the south of point E. Point H is 5m in the north of point G. What is the shortest distance between point H and point A? Correct Answer 3m

According to the given information, we get the following figure, [ alt="Direction Distance Pratik M 25 May 10QsHinRev Manoj d12" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/06/Direction_Distance_Pratik_M_25_May_10QsHinRev_Manoj%20d12.PNG" style="width: 480px; height: 363px;">

Shortest distance between point A and point H = FG – (ED + CB) = 9m – (2m + 4m) = 3m

Hence, ‘3m’ is the correct answer.
