Hi Kashish,
The elbow doesn't need to change distance too much for any of the shots.
If you get someone to throw a ball to you and you catch it in front of you. The position you catch the ball and the distance of your elbows from your body is about the right distance for these shots.
For the topspin strokes you can extend the arm slightly so the elbow is a little further away but not drastically.
