Two boys approach a point 'P' from two different directions. The angle formed between their paths at the point 'P' is angle of approach. They reach the point at the same time and continue to move in their original direction. Now they are moving away from the point and the angle between their paths at the point is angle of departure.

Solution

The correct option is C
Angle of approach = Angle of departure

The two boys are moving on two paths that are intersecting at 'P'. The angle of approach and the angle of departure forms a pair of vertically opposite angles, so they are equal.
