Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Ritika starts walking from point A towards the east. After walking 7m, she reaches point B, from there she turns right and walks 2m to reach point C. Now she turns left and walks 9m to reach point E. Then she turns left again and walks 4m to reach point G. From there, she turns and take two consecutive left turns and walks 2m each to reach Point D. From there, she turns right and walks 6m to reach point K. Now finally she takes the right turn again and walks for 5m to reach Point L.
What is the shortest distance between point L and point E?
- A.
13m
- B.
11m
- C.
√113m
- D.
113m
- E.
√117m
Attempted by 3 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Using coordinates, take A as (0, 0). The route gives E = (16, -2) and L = (8, 5). The shortest distance is sqrt((16 - 8)^2 + (-2 - 5)^2) = sqrt(64 + 49) = sqrt(113).
