X runs 20 km towards South then takes a right turn and runs 15 km. He again takes a right turn and runs 40 km. What is the shortest distance between his original and present place? Correct Answer 25 kms

The figure according to the information given in the question will be as follow:

  

⇒ Shortest distance between initial point to final point = √{(20)2 + (15)2}

⇒ √{400 + 225} = √625 = 25 km

∴ The required result will be 25 km.
