Question
Two buses start from opposite points on a main road 120 km apart. The first bus X runs for 25 kms and takes a right turn and then runs for 15 kms. It then turns left and runs for another 25 kms and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the mean time due to minor breakdown, the other bus Y has run only 35 kms along the main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point?

Solution
The correct option is A 35 kms
Bus X travels from P --> A --> L --> M --> B
Thus, PB = 50 Km
Bus Y travels from Q --> C
Thus, QC = 35 Km
Now, the distance between the two buses is:
BC = Initial Distance - (PB + QC) = 120−(50+35)=35 km
Bus X travels from P --> A --> L --> M --> B
Thus, PB = 50 Km
Bus Y travels from Q --> C
Thus, QC = 35 Km
Now, the distance between the two buses is:
BC = Initial Distance - (PB + QC) = 120−(50+35)=35 km
