Answer 1

The correct option is A Both will meet at the same place.

Jocelyn and Alivia's houses are 5 miles apart.


Let's find the distance covered by them.

Joycelyn walks 2 miles from her house toward east.


Then, she turns right and walks 1 mile.


Then she turns left and walks 1 mile.


Alivia walks 2 miles toward west, then turns left and walks 1 mile.


Now, they meet at the same place.


Hence, both will meet at the same place.
