SECTION – E

18. Shown below is a map of Saheb’s neighborhood.

Saheb did a survey of his neighborhood and collected the following information:
• The hotel, mall and the main gate of the garden lie in a straight line.
• The distance between the hotel and the mall is half the distance between
the mall and the main gate of the garden.
• The bus stand is exactly midway between the main gate of the garden and
the fire station.
• The mall, bus stand and the water tank lie in a straight line.

i) What are the coordinates of the fire station?

ii) What is the shortest distance between the water tank and the school?
iii) Saheb proposed a plan to install a fountain such that its distance from the
south gate is twice the distance from the mid-point of main gate and the
north gate. Find the coordinate of the fountain.

OR
What is the distance between mall and bus stand?
