Question 189

Ram and Sham start walking in opposite directions. Ram covers 6 kms and Sham 8 kms. Then Ram turns right and walks 8 kms and Sham turns left and. walks 6 kms. How far each is from the starting point?

The paths of Ram and Shyaam can be traced as AB and CD respectively as shown.


thus the total distance of both from their starting points will be OB and OD respectively: which will be both equal to $$\sqrt{8^{2}+6^{2}}=10$$

hence the correct answer is option C.
