    2 km

  3. COption (c)

    2√2 km

  4. DOption (d)

    4√2 km 

  5. EOption (e)

    3√2 km

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

2√2 km

Why this answer is correct

We have drawn the figure according to the information given in the question,

From the figure, it is clear that the shortest possible distance between B and E will be a line between them. As it is clear that the distance H and E = 2 km and distance between B and H = 2 km, for the distance between B and E, we have to implement the Pythagoras theorem.

where (BE) 2 = (BH*2* + HE*2*)

And we can easily get BE = 2√2 km.

Therefore, the shortest possible distance between B and E is 2√2 km.

  2. BOption (b)

    28

  5. EOption (e)

    32

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

28

Why this answer is correct

Total students = 40

A’s position form left = 13

Total students = Position of student from right side + Position from left - 1

Position of student from right side = Total students -  Position from left + 1

A’s position form right = 40 – 13 + 1

→ 40 – 12 = 28

Hence, A is 28th form right.
