Answer 2

Answer:

Option (b) 12th step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total steps = 35

Chithra comes down 2 steps and Madhu goes up 1 step:

At first, Chithra will reach 34th step and Madhu will be on 1st step.

Similarly, when Chithra will be on 32nd step, Madhu will be on 2nd step.

Continuing this:

Chithra =30th and Madhu = 3rd

Chithra = 28th and Madhu = 4th

Chithra = 26th and Madhu = 5th

Chithra = 24th and Madhu = 6th

Chithra = 22nd and Madhu = 7th

Chithra = 20th and Madhu = 8th

Chithra = 18th and Madhu = 9th

Chithra = 16th and Madhu = 10th

Chithra = 14th and Madhu = 11th

Chithra = 12th and Madhu = 12th.

Therefore, they will meet at the 12th step.
