Question

Anita and John start their cars from the center of the street. Both the cars reach a certain distance, which is 3 miles away from the center of the street. Does this mean that both the cars are at the same place?

• A. Yes, both the car are at the same place.
• B. No, both the car are not at the same place.
• C. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B No, both the car are not at the same place.

Answer: No

Distance always has an absolute/actual value.

Say, Let's say that Anita's car moves to the left of the center of the street, and it covers 3 miles. So, the position of Anita's car is -3 miles.
John's car moves to the right of the center of the street, and it covers 3 miles. So, the position of John's car is 3 miles.

Both the cars cover the same distance, i.e., 3 miles, but ultimately not positioned at the same place.

$\therefore$ The answer is NO
