Correct Answer: 202


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Now, we have to find the shortest distance between starting point and end point –

Now, find the distance between the starting point and the end point by using Pythagoras' Theorem –
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2
H2 = (10 + 10)2 + (10 + 10)2
H2 = (20)2 + (20)2
H2 = 400 + 400
H2 = 800
H = 202

So, the distance between Rohini and the starting point is 20√2 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
