Question: 5
X and Y start moving towards eacgh other from two places 200 m apart. After walked 60 m, B turns left and goes 20 m, then he turns right and goes 40 m. He then turns right again and comes back to the road on which he had started walking. If A and B walk with the same speed, what is the distance between them now?
(A) 20 m
(B) 30 m
(C) 40 m
(D) 50 m
Ans: C
Clearly Y moves 60 m from Q upto A, then 20 m upto B, 40 m upto C and then upto D.
So, AD = BC = 40 m.
QD = (60 + 40) m = 100 m.
Since A and B travels with the same speed, A will travel the same speed along the horizontal as B travels in the same time i.e. (60 + 20 + 40 + 20) = 140 m.
So, X travels 140 m upto A.
Distance between X and Y = AD = (100 - 60) m = 40 m.
