Drawing the diagram according to the given information,
- Mohan's house faces south. He steps out of his house and goes straight for 30 m.
- From there, he takes two successive right turns and covers a distance of 6 m and 24 m, respectively.
- Finally, he takes a left turn and walks a distance of 2 m to reach a grocery shop.
Now, Using Pythagoras theorem, the shortest distance between his house and grocery shop will be = \({ \sqrt{8^2+6^2}} \) = 10 m
Hence, 'option 4' is the correct answer.
