11. (e)

Ant should travel from A(0,0,0) to F(1,1,1).

For the shortest distance it should go from AC √ .

So, total distance (√ ) .

12. (d)

( )

So, x will have one positive, one negative, and two complex roots.

13. (b) Let the books be A and B with selling prices Rs. 30 each. For A, profit is 25 , for B loss is
25 .

Let the cost price for A is x and for B is y.

Net cost price

So, loss .
