PALAMPUR VILLAGE
People of the village want to construct road nearest to a circular village Rampur. The road cannot
pass through the village. But the people want the road to be at shortest distance from the centre of,
the village. Suppose the road starts from point O, which is outside the village and touch the boundary
of the circular village at A, such that OA is 20 cm. Also, the straight distance of the point O from the
centre of the village is 25 cm.10.
