Options :
Answer : D
Explanation
Here, we have to apply the Pythagoras theorem to get the answer. We will take the square of each number i.e. 100 and 75, which are 10000 and 5625 respectively. Next, we will add them and the result of addition is 15625. Finally, we will take the square root of the addition and the result is 125 m. So, the minimum distance here is 125 m.
