Two friends X and Y start running and they run together for 50 m in the same direction and reach a point. X turns right and runs 60 m, while Y turns left and runs 40m. Then X turns left and runs 50m and stops, while Y turns right and runs 50 m and then stops. How far are the two friends from each other now?
100 m
90 m
60 m
50 m
Considering the turning point as the starting point and both facing north, we ignore the initial 50 meters. X moves 60 meters East and then 50 meters South, while Y moves 40 meters West and then 50 meters South. We calculate the distance by only considering the horizontal movement, which is 60 meters (East) + 40 meters (West). The 50 meters South can be ignored as it is common for both paths, having been already accounted for in the initial position.
