Jack set for a tennis club 15 kms away from his home. From there on he went to gym 8 kms away. How far is Jack now from his home, if he walks in a straight line everywhere? A) 7 B) 23 C) 17 D) 8 E) all how option D is true ?
'From there' is not necessarily the anchor point for the distance of the gym. For example: From there(i.e. tennis club) on he went to gym 8 kms away. / From there on he went to gym 8 kms away (from his home).
Either way the answer can be 23 or 7 depending upon his direction of motion
I assume that here, maximum is 23 (15+8 =23) and minimum is 7( when 15-8 =7). but the question only stipulates the distance to be a straight line. for example 15 could be straight horizontal and then 8 could be perpendicular to that line, then we have 17 from home. But the 8km could be almost 180 (example 170) back towards the home then it's not 7 but little more than 7 or could be even 8.
