  1. A ship after sailing 12 km towards south from a particular place covered 5 km more towards east. Then the straightway distance of the ship from that place is
    1. 11 km
    2. 18 km
    3. 15 km
    4. 13 km
Correct Option: D

According to question , we draw a figure triangle ABC

From right angle triangle , we have
∴ OB = √OA² + AB²
OB = √12² + 5²
OB = √144 + 25
OB = √169 = 13 km.
