How much distance would Manoj have travelled if he took a boat ride to reach the City Palace from the Lake View Hotel along the route shown?

Answer

Manoj travelled 10 km by car to reach the City Palace from the Lake View Hotel. The question is asking for the distance that would be travelled if he were to take a boat ride. 1. **Understanding the Route**: The map indicates that there are two routes: one by car and one by boat. The distance travelled by car is 10 km. 2. **Directness of the Routes**: In general, a direct boat route across a body of water may be shorter than a longer winding car route that needs to circumvent various geographical obstacles. 3. **Conclusion**: As the exact distance for the boat route is not provided in the image, we can infer that if the boat route is direct across the lake, it could potentially be less than 10 km. Therefore, considering the options provided: - **less than 10 km** is a plausible answer, as the distance by boat could be less than by car due to the direct water route. Hence, the most appropriate selection is: **Answer: less than 10 km.**
