Question

Find the Shortest distance from P to A.

• A. 9 km
• B. 8 km
• C. 3 km
• D. 1 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 km

There are Many ways to reach from P to A.

1. P → C → A

2. P → B → A

3. P →E→B→A

4. P→B→C→A

5. P→E→D→A

Ways 3,4,5 are anyway longer than way 1 and 2

Now Let’s check the ways 1) & 2)

1)

P → C → A
P → C = 6 km
C → A = 3 km
P → C → A = 6 + 3 = 9 km

2)
P → B → A
P → B = 1 km
B → A = 2 km
P → B → A= 1 + 2 = 3 km
Hence the shortest distance from
P → A is 3 km
