A man travels 5 miles towards west, 2 miles towards south, then again 5 miles towards west. What is the direct distance of destination from the starting point?

A 8 miles
B 15 miles
C 12 miles
D 6 miles

Correct Answer: 12 miles

***The question is erroneous. The man is 5 + 5 = 10 miles westward an 2 miles southward from his starting point. So, considering a right - angled triangle, his direct distance from the initial point will be (102 + 22)1/2 ≈ 10.2 miles.
