Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet us first decode the given data:
| Code | $ | & | * | % | P@QR | P!QR |
| Meaning | North | East | West | South | 'P stands exactly in the middle of horizontal line QR | 'P stands exactly in the middle of vertical line QR |
Given: C12m$S5m*G3m&J6m%K!JT
According to the Pythagoras theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = Base2 + Height2
⇒ CS is Height = (12)2
⇒ GS is the Base = (5)2
⇒ GC is the Hypotenuse = ?
Therefore,
⇒ (GC)2 = (GS)2 + (CS)2
⇒ (GC)2 = (5)2 + (12)2
⇒ (GC)2 = 25 + 144
⇒ (GC)2 = 169
⇒ GC = √169
⇒ GC = 13
Hence, the correct answer is "13 m".
