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
