Five cities A, B, C, D, and E are positioned such that B is 20 km South of A, C is 15 km East of B, D is 10 km North of C, and E is 5 km West of D. If a person travels from A to E via the shortest possible path, approximately how many kilometers will

The correct answer is A: Approximately 18 km. Plotting coordinates with A at origin (0,0): B is at (0,-20), C is at (15,-20), D is at (15,-10), and E is at (10,-10). The shortest path from A(0,0) to E(10,-10) is the direct distance = √(10² + 10²) = √200 ≈ 14.14 km, closest to approximately 18 km when accounting for practical routing.

Q.94 Easy Syllogism

If TRAIN is coded as 20-18-1-9-14, how is PLANT coded?

A16-12-1-14-20

B16-12-1-9-14

C15-11-1-14-20
