Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside:
There is PQ axis in such a way that P is in north and Q is in south direction. There is RS axis in such a way that R is in west direction and S is in east direction. PQ axis and RS axis intersect at a point X in such a way that PX is 20 m, XQ is 23 m, XR is 19 m, XS is 31 m.
Car A starts from point R and travels 28 m in south direction and then it takes a left turn and travels 45 m. Car B starts from point P and travels 26 m in east direction. Car C starts from point S and travels 7 m in north direction and then it takes a left turn and travel 5 m and again it takes a left turn and travels 30 m.& (Set 2 Q. 1)
What is the shortest distance between the final positions of car A and car B?Car A starts from point R and travels 28 m in south direction and then it takes a left turn and travels 45 m. Car B starts from point P and travels 26 m in east direction. Car C starts from point S and travels 7 m in north direction and then it takes a left turn and travel 5 m and again it takes a left turn and travels 30 m.& (Set 2 Q. 1)

Options
- A35 m
- B42 m
- C48 m
- D52 m
Correct answer
C. 48 m
Step-by-step solution
Following the figure we made using the given information we can say that& the shortest distance between the final positions of car A and car B = (5 + 23 + 20) m = 48 m.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
There is PQ axis in such a way that P is in north and Q is in south direction. There is RS axis in such a way that R is in west direction and S is in east direction. PQ axis and RS axis intersect at a point X in such a way that PX is 20 m,
XQ is 23 m, XR is 19 m, XS is 31 m.
Inference:
Using the given hints we can create a following figure:

Reference:
Car A starts from point R and travels 28 m in south direction and then it takes a left turn and travels 45 m. Car B starts from point P and travels 26 m in east direction. Car C starts from point S and travels 7 m in north direction and then it takes a left turn and travel 5 m and again it takes a left turn and travels 30 m.
Inference:
Here, the paths of car A, car B and car C will be denoted by red, blue and green colour respectively.
