Question

A and B starts moving towards each other from two places 200 m apart. After walking 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 A and B now?

• A. 20 m
• B. 30 m
• C. 40 m
• D. 50 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 40 m

Distance traveled by A on road $=60+20+40+20=140$ m
Distance traveled by B on road $=60+40=100$ m
Required difference $=140-100=40$ m
Hence, option 'C' is correct.
