Solution

The correct option is A 32.65


Ram goes 5 mi south, 6 mi east, 7 mi south and 2 mi west.

This implies that the place B is indirectly 12 mi south and 4 mi east to the place A.
So, if Shyam went directly from A to B along a straight line path, the distance would be 144+16=12.65 mi.
Ram covered the distance of 5+6+7+2=20 mi.
In total, they covered a distance of 32.65 mi.
