what is problem in dis questions
just find distances and sum them now u will get equation in k ,
consider it as function of k and u have to find its min value
differentiate it wrt ot k and put equal to 0 u will get value of k
approve if useful

That I know, but it takes too much time if you have any short method please tell me....

ok there is another metod to approach this question
P will be mid point of A and B then PA + PB will be minimum
and hence by using mid point formula u will get value of k

When P lies on AB the distance will be minimum.
Form an equation of line AB and satisfy point P on it.
The resulting value of k will be the answer
