Yogesh started walking towards East. After moving a distance of 2 km, he turned Southward and walked 5 km. Again he turned to East and walked 1 km. Finally he turned to the North and walked 9 km.
Using the Pythagoras Theorem,
the shortest distance between the starting and the final point = \(√(3^2+4^2 )\)
⇒ \(√25 \)
= 5 km
Thus, the shortest distance between the starting and the final point is 5 km.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
