A man starts walking in south direction from point P (as shown in figure) & reaches point Q(PQ = 4m) , then the moves towards east direction & reaches at point R(QR = 3m) . Now he moves towards north direction & reaches at points S(RS = 10m) & finally he moves towards east direction & reaches at point T(ST = Xm) . On the basis of above information, answer the following questions : Length X is-
