A & B start walking in opposite directions. A covers 3 miles and B covers 4 miles. Then A turns right and walks 4 miles and b turns left and walks 3 miles. How far is each from starting point?

A 8 miles

B 5 miles

C 4 miles

D 6 miles

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

From, Pythagoras Theorem,

x2 = 42+32

x2 = 16 + 9

x2 = 25

x = sq rt (25)

x = 5

Again,

y2 = 42+32

y2 = 16 + 9

y2 = 25

y = sq rt (25)

y = 5
