Question #1
A child walks 3 m east, 4 m north, 12 m east. Shortest distance?
A. 13 m
B. 17 m
C. 19 m
D. 15 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total east = 3+12=15, north 4 -> √(15²+4²)=√241 ≈ 15.52, not 13. I'll do 5 east, 12 north -> 13. So: 5 m east, then 12 m north. Shortest distance 13 m. So question: A child walks 5 m east, then 12 m north. Shortest distance? 13 m.
