A soldier walks 4 kms in North direction from his camp. He then turns towards East and walks another 3 kms. Find out how far the soldier is from his initial location?

According to the given information, the path is as follows:

The distance from the initial to the final position will be 7 km and the shortest distance will be 5 km.

7 is not in the option so 5 will be the answer.

The shortest distance can be calculated by the Pythagoras theorem.

A² + B² = C²

3 + 4 = 9 + 16

25 which is a square of 5.

Here C is the shortest distance, A and B are the other distances.

Hence, 5 km is the answer.
