Question

The difference in distance between the given path and the shortest path from A to B is

• A. 4 units
• B. 8 units
• C. 12 units
• D. 16 units

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8 units

Plotting the shortest path from A to B, we get:


Hence, the distance covered on the shortest path = 4 units

Examining the given path, we find:


Hence, the distance covered on the given path
= 4 units + 4 units + 4 units
= 12 units

Therefore, the difference between the distance of the given path and the shortest path
= 12 units - 4 units
= 8 units
