Question
Comprehension: (Que No. 1-3 Direction: Read the instruction carefully and answer the question given below. A person starts from point L and goes 5 km towards the east to reach point M and then takes a left turn and travels 2 km to reach point N. Upon reaching point N he turns right and goes 3 km to reach point O and then turns right again and goes 6 km to reach point P. From point P he takes a left turn and goes 3 km to reach point Q and then again turns left and goes 4 km to reach point R. After reaching point R, he finally takes a left turn and goes 3 km to reach point S which is his destination. Question: What is the shortest distance between the starting and the finishing point? 10 km 12 km 6 km 5 km 8 km

To find the shortest distance between the starting point (L) and the finishing point (S), we need to consider the path taken by the person.Let's break down the path:1. From point L to point M: 5 km towards the east.2. From point M to point N: 2 km to the left (assuming a left turn means a 90-degree left turn).3. From point N to point O: 3 km to the right.4. From point O to point P: 6 km to the right.5. From point P to point Q: 3 km to the left.6. From point Q to point R: 4 km to the left.7. From point R to point S: 3 km to the left.Now, let's calculate the distance between the starting point (L) and the finishing point (S):- From point L to point M: 5 km.- From point M to point N: 2 km.- From point N to point O: 3 km.- From point O to point P: 6 km.- From point P to point Q: 3 km.- From point Q to point R: 4 km.- From point R to point S: 3 km.Adding up all the distances, we get:5 km + 2 km + 3 km + 6 km + 3 km + 4 km + 3 km = 26 km.Therefore, the shortest distance between the starting point (L) and the finishing point (S) is 26 km.
