Kunal left home and cycled 10 km southwards, turned right and cycled 5 km and turned right and cycled 18 km and turned toward east and cycled 11 km to reach tuition. What is the minimum distance between his home and tuition? Correct Answer 10 km

In the given figure AC shows the minimum distance between home and tuition

Here we will use Pythagoras' Theorem

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

AC2 = 82 + 62

AC2 = 100

AC = 10 km

Hence minimum distance between home and tuition is 10 km.
