√122

√212

√144

Explanation:

- Both start at the same point, facing north.

- Shyam's route: Left means west. Walks 5 km west, then left again (south), walks 10 km. So his final coordinates are (-5, -10) (taking start as (0,0)).

- Ram's route: Walks 2 km north, then right (east), walks 5 km. So final coordinates: (5, 2).

- Displacement between them:

Difference in x-coordinates = 5 - (-5) = 10

Difference in y-coordinates = 2 - (-10) = 12

Distance = v(10² + 12²) = v(100 + 144) = v244.

- Option 1: v244 is correct.

- Option 2, 3, 4 are incorrect because they give different values for displacement.
