What is the length of each side of the regular hexagons as shown in the diagram below?
(1) The shortest distance between A and B is 6.
(2) The shortest straight-line distance between A and B such that the straight-line does not enter inside either hexagon is 4 + 2√3.

DS: Length of each side of regular Hexagon
Concept : If we know the length of side of regular hexagon , we can calculate its diagonals.
Statement 1: Shortest distance between A and B = Side of hexagon + diagonal of hexagon(which is again related to side)
So, we can easily calculate the length of the side of the hexagon.
SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: We can even calculate the distance between A and B such that the straight-line does not enter inside either hexagon with the length of side.
SUFFICIENT

Please refer attachment for diagram.
Side of Hexagon = 2S
St.1) 2S + 2S + 2S = 6
S = 1
Sufficient
St.2) S\(\sqrt{3}\) + S\(\sqrt{3}\) + 2S + 2S = 4 + 2\(\sqrt{3}\)
4S + 2S\(\sqrt{3}\) = 4 + 2\(\sqrt{3}\)
S = 1
Sufficient
Answer: Option D

St.2) S\(\sqrt{3}\) + S\(\sqrt{3}\) + 2S + 2S = 4 + 2\(\sqrt{3}\)
4S + 2S\(\sqrt{3}\) = 4 + 2\(\sqrt{3}\)
S = 1
