A very simple question.
Answer is \(sqrt(8^2 + 6^2)\) = 10. Hence, A.

Hi PawanRamnani1234,
I'm going to give you some 'hints' so that you can try this question again on your own:
1) Try drawing a picture 'to scale' - you'll have 4 lines: right, down, left, then up.
2) Draw a line connecting the starting point with the ending point. That line is the diagonal of a RIGHT TRIANGLE.
3) Using the drawing, you can determine the 'base' and the 'height' of that right triangle.
4) Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal.
