A straight road, AB, is 200 m long. Five poles are placed on the road starting from
A, towards B, in a straight line, with the distance between any two adjacent poles
being 4 m. Find the minimum distance (in m) to be travelled by a person to
transport all the poles to B starting from A, carrying only one pole at a time.
Answers
The minimum distance to be travelled by a person is 220 meters.
A person needs to carry each pole from A to B one by one. The minimum distance that a person needs to travel to transport all the poles to B is the total distance covered while carrying each pole.
The distance between each pole is 4m, and there are 5 poles in total.
So the total distance covered while carrying all the poles is 4m x 5 = 20m
In addition to this distance, the person also needs to travel the length of the road, AB, which is 200m.
So the minimum distance to be travelled by a person to transport all the poles to B starting from A, carrying only one pole at a time is:
20m + 200m = 220m
So the minimum distance to be travelled by a person is 220 meters.
