Garima starts walking towards the south from point R. He walks for 5m to reach Point S then turns right and walks for 2m to reach point T from there he turns left and walks for 3m to reach Point Z. He then turns right from point Z and walks for 6m to reach point Y and then turns right and walks for 3m to reach point X. He then turns right from point X and walks for 4m to reach point W and then turns left and walks for 5m to reach point V and then turns left and walks for 4m till point U and stops. What is the shortest distance between point V and point R?

What is the shortest distance between point V and point R? Correct Answer 4m

According to the given information, we get the following figure, [ alt="Direction Distance Pratik M 25 May 10QsHinRev Manoj d10" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/06/Direction_Distance_Pratik_M_25_May_10QsHinRev_Manoj%20d10.PNG" style="width: 480px; height: 386px;">

Shortest distance between point V and point R = (YZ – XW) + TS = (6m – 4m) + 2m = 2m + 2m = 4m

Hence, ‘4m’ is the correct answer.
