Directions: Study the following questions carefully and answer the questions given below.
Virendra’s house is 30 m to the left of the Shani Dev Temple, which is 40 m to the north of the Church. One day, Virendra takes the road which is parallel to the temple-Church road and walks for 50 m before turning to his right. He further walks for 20 m and reaches the Gym. [Set 2 Q.1]
What is difference between the straight distance between Virendra’s house to Church and Shani Dev Temple to Gym?
Options
- A20.7 m
- B50 m
- C37.7 m
- D70.7 m
Correct answer
A. 20.7 m
Step-by-step solution
Applying the Pythagoras theorem, we get
Distance between the house and the church = 302 + 402
= 900 + 1600
= 2500
= 50 m
Now, the distance between the temple and the gym = 502 + 502
= 50 2 m
Therefore, the required difference = 50 ( 2 - 1) = 50 x 0.414
= 20.7 m
Clearly, option A is the correct answer.
Distance between the house and the church = 302 + 402
= 900 + 1600
= 2500
= 50 m
Now, the distance between the temple and the gym = 502 + 502
= 50 2 m
Therefore, the required difference = 50 ( 2 - 1) = 50 x 0.414
= 20.7 m
Clearly, option A is the correct answer.
