Two cars start from the opposite places of a main road, 150 km apart. First car runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs 15 km. It then turns left and then runs for another 25 km and then takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the mean time, due to minor break down the other car has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between two cars at this point?
Question
Two cars start from the opposite places of a main road, 150 km apart. First car runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs 15 km. It then turns left and then runs for another 25 km and then takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the mean time, due to minor break down the other car has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between two cars at this point?
Solution
To find the distance between the two cars at this point, we can break down the movements of each car step by step.
First, let's consider the movements of the first car. It starts from the opposite place on the main road, 150 km apart from the second car. The first car runs for 25 km and takes a right turn, then runs for another 15 km. After that, it turns left and runs for another 25 km. Finally, it takes the direction back to reach the main road.
Now, let's look at the second car. Due to a minor breakdown, it has only run 35 km along the main road.
To determine the distance between the two cars at this point, we need to calculate the total distance covered by each car.
The first car has covered a total distance of 25 km + 15 km + 25 km = 65 km.
The second car has covered a distance of 35 km.
To find the distance between the two cars, we subtract the distance covered by the second car from the total distance covered by the first car:
Distance between the two cars = Total distance covered by the first car - Distance covered by the second car = 65 km - 35 km = 30 km
Therefore, the distance between the two cars at this point is 30 km.

Two friends P and Q started walking towards each starting from points A and B respectively, which are 200 km apart. On a straight road P traveled for 30 km on road and stopped. Q traveled for 70 km, and took a left turn and traveled 20 km. Then he took right turn and traveled 45 km and then turned to the main road and reached it. What is the distance, in km , between the friends now?
Answer each of the following questions independently.Two cars C1 and C2 start their journey from two different points at 4 kmph and 3 kmph respectively and meet after 5 hours at a point where their paths make an angle of 135°. After the cars met, they interchange their paths. Each car first travels to the other car's starting point (i.e. C1 travels to C2's starting point along the path C2 was travelling on and C2 travels to C1's starting point along the path C1 was travelling on ) and then travels along the straight line path (i.e. the shortest distance) joining the starting points of the two cars, finally reaching it's original starting point. Find the approximate time interval between the return of C1 and C2 to their starting positions.
