Solution:

As per the given information;

The shortest distance between Govardhan’s insurance office and Revenue Colony is;

= √[(\text "Insurance office to Swimming pool Distance")^2 + (\text "Swimming pool to Revenue office Distance")^2]

= √(8^2 + 15^2)

= √(64 + 225)

= √289

= 17 \m

Hence, "17 m" is the correct answer.
