Let the car turn of the highway at a distance ' x ' from the point M. So, RM=x And if speed of car in field is v, then time taken by the car to cover the distance QR= QM−x on the highway, t1=2vQM−x Time taken to travel the distance ' RP′ in the field t2=vd2+x2 Total time elapsed to move the car from Q to P t=t1+t2=2vQM−x+vd2+x2 
or x=22−1d=3d
