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 strai
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 = 30 2 + 40 2 = 900 + 1600 = 2500 = 50 m Now, the distance between the temple and the gym = 50 2 + 50 2 = 50 2 m Therefore, the required difference = 50 ( 2 - 1) = 50 x 0.414 = 20.7 m Clearly, option A is the correct answer.
