Seeta and Geeta start moving towards each other from two places 200 m apart. After walking 40 m, Geeta turns left and goes 15 m, then she turns right and goes 25 m. She then turns right again and comes back to the road on which she had started walking. If Seeta and Geeta walk with the same speed, what is the distance between them now?
Let us assume Seeta and Geeta are at A and B initially.
Distance between A and B = 200 m.
Seeta and Geeta have the same speed.
So, their travel distance will be the same since they start together.
Seeta travels = 40+25 = 65 meters in the horizontal direction from Point A and 15+15 = 30 meters in the vertical direction.
Total distance travelled by Seeta = 65+30 = 95 meters.
Hence, Geeta also travels = 95 meters.
Since Seeta travels only 65 meters on line AB, and Geeta travels = 95 meters on line AB.
Distance between them = 200-65-95 = 40 meters.
