It then turns left and runs for another 25 kms and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 kms along the main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point ?

a) 80 kms

b) 75 kms

c) 65 kms

d) 85 kms

Answer: (c)

direction-and-distance-verbal-reasoning

Let X and Y be two buses.

Bus X travels along the path

PA, AB, BC, CD

Now, AD = BC = 25 km.

So, PD = PA + AD = 50km.

Bus Y travels 35 km upto E.

∴ Distance between two buses = PQ - (PD - QE)

= [150 - (50 + 35)] = 65km.

a) Two

b) Four

c) Can't be determined

d) Three

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

direction-and-distance

Movements of Sunil are as shown in figure.

Hence, AC = AB + BC = 2AB
