Solutions

Let the tower be at B
Initially man was at point C then the distance BC was 200m
After moving, man comes at position A distance AB=300m
AC= 100√13 (By Pythagoras theorem)
Shortest distance will be BD
Let DC = x then AD = 100√13 – x
In Triangle BDC, BD = (200)2 – x2
In Triangle ABD, BD=(300)2 – (100√13 – x)2
Equating the two values of BD we get, x=400/√13
Calculating BDwe get 600/√13
