Answer  € 244

Let R stand for Rome, M stand for Milan, G stand for Genoa and P stand for Padua.

Total number of possible routes are 6, which are as follows:

1)R→G→M→P→R

2)R→G→P→M→R

3)R→M→G→P→R

4)R→M→P→G→R

5)R→P→M→G→R

6)R→P→G→M→R

Thus, the possible costs for all the routes ( in €) are:

1)R→G→M→P→R = 52+56+68+68 = 244

2)R→G→P→M→R = 52+58+67+74 = 251

3)R→M→G→P→R = 71+59+58+68 = 256

4)R→M→P→G→R = 71+68+54+76 = 269

5)R→P→M→G→R = 61+67+59+76 = 263

6)R→P→G→M→R = 61+54+56+74 = 245

Thus, the most efficient route is R→G→M→P→R i.e Rome to Genoa to Milan to Padua to Rome as the cost is the least  € 244.

Hence, the correct option is c. €244.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
