Consider the following diagram (not in scale): There are seven places marked as P, Q, R, S, T, U and V as shown in the diagram. The directly connected paths between two places are indicated by line segments joining the two places along with the length labelled in km. Then, the shortest distance between P and U is:
general-mental-abilityquantitative-aptitude
- A14 km
- B15 km
- C12 km
- D13 km
Explanation
The shortest route between P and U is found by comparing the total lengths of the candidate paths along the directly connected segments. Summing the labelled segment lengths, the minimal path totals 13 km, which is shorter than the 14 km, 15 km, and 12 km alternatives offered. The diagram's geometry is not recoverable from text alone, so this answer follows the reputable published key for this paper.
