Video Summary

To minimize the total distance traveled by students from four villages (A, B, C, and D) when attending a new school, a calculation determines the optimal location is village C, resulting in the shortest travel distance of 800 kilometers. Each village is 10 km apart along a road, with differing student populations. By calculating travel distances for each potential school location with student numbers from each village, C provides the minimum total travel distance despite an initial mention of a typo regarding answer choice labeling, emphasizing the importance of accurate answer marking.
