Question

From Kozhikode to Thalassery
Subodh is going to Kozhikode which is 24 kilometres (km) away. Manjani is going to Thalassery which is 46 km away in the opposite direction.
How far is Kozhikode from Thalassery? _______________

Answer 1

Suppose Subodh and Manjani start from the same point.
Distance of Kozhikode from the starting point = 24 km
Distance of Thalassery from the starting point = 46 km
Subodh is going to Kozhikode and Manjani is going to Thalassery.
Both of them are travelling in opposite directions.
∴ Distance between Kozhikode and Thalassery = (24 + 46) km
= 70 km
$\begin{array}{cccc}& 2& 4& \\ +& 4& 6& \\ & 7& 0& \\ & & & \end{array}$

Thus, Kozhikode is 70 km away from Thalassery.
