Rakesh is standing at a point. He walks 20 m towards east and further 10 m towards south. He then walks 35 m towards west and further 5 m towards north. Again, he walks 15 m towards east. What is the shortest distance in meters between his starting point and the point where he is now? Correct Answer 5 m

Let Rakesh’s starting pointbe A and the end point be F. Let the turns be denoted by B,C,D and E.

Now BC = 10m

ED = 5m

BC II ED

Therefore AF = BC – AD

AF = 10m – 5m

AF = 5m

Hence, the shortest distance between the initial and the final point of Rakesh is 5m.
