Question

Parmeet and Charu start moving towards each other from 2 places 200 m apart. After walking 60 m, Charu

turns left and goes 20 m, then turns right and goes another 40 m. She then turns right again and comes back on the

path on which she started walking. If Parmeet and Charu walk with the same speed, What is the distance between

them now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lets take them as x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y start walking towards each other from the distance of 200 meter.

After walking 60 meter on the road, y terns left and goes 20 meters, then he turns right and walk 40 meter, he turns right again and comes back  to the road.

distance walked by y = 60 m + 20 m + 40 m + 20 m

                                  = 140 meter

distance deviated by x = 20 + 20 = 40 meter

covered distance of road = 140 - 40 = 100 meter

At the same time x walked 140 meter on the road.

Therefore, the distance between them = 140 - 100 = 40 meter

They are 40 meters apart.
