M is the midpoint of side AB of equilateral triangle ABC. P is the point on BC such that AP+PM is minimum. If AB=20, then AP+PM is (a) 10 root 7 (b) 10 root 3 (c) 10 root 5 (d) 10

AP+PM = AP + PM' = AM'
If APM' is a straight line 
equal to AM' 
Cos120 = (AC^2 + CM'^2 - AM'^2)/2AC*CM' 
AM' = 10sqrt(7)
