coming from govindpur is shorter by 55.5km
The way back route or taxi route is shorter by 37.5 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Sarfraz Walked 2 km 500 m From his house to the station, traveled 375 km by train and then traveled 80 km by bus to Govindpur village.
First convert 500 m to km.
1000 m = 1 km
500 m =0.5 km
That means Sarfraz Walked 2.5 km.
Total distance cover by Sarfraz = (2.5+375+80) km = 457.5 km
On the way back, He took a taxi straight home and traveled 420 km.
457.5 is greater than 420.
Hence, the shorter route was taking taxi to straight home.
Difference of the distance is: (457.5-420)km = 37.5 km
Hence, the way back route or taxi route is shorter by 37.5 km
