The edit distance satisfies the axioms of a metric when the costs are non-negative.

The edit distance satisfies the axioms of a metric when the costs are non-negative. Correct Answer True

d(s,s) = 0, since each string can be transformed into itself without any change. d(s1, s2) > 0 when s1 != s2, since the transformation would require at least one operation. d(s1, s2) = d(s2, s1) d(s1, s3) <= d(s1, s2) + d(s2, s3) Thus, the edit distance satisfies the axioms of a metric.

Mohan traveled five cities (A, B, C, D and E) starting from home by a car which has a mileage such that the car can travel 10 km in 1 liter petrol. Distance between city A and B is twice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city B and C is thrice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city C and D is 100. Distance between city D and E is 1.5 times than the distance between B and C. Average distance traveled by Mohan was 41 km between five cities. Find how much petrol was needed by Mohan to travel from city B to D.

Gaurav cycles towards South-West for a distance of 6 m and stops there. Further, he moves towards East a distance of 10 m and from there he moves towards North-East a distance of 6 m. Next, he moves towards West a distance of 6 m. Now, he moves towards North-West a distance of 2 m. Next, he moves towards West a distance of 4 m and then towards South-West 6 m and stops at that point. Now, where is he from the starting point?
