    Question

    Two buses start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 km apart. The first bus runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs for 15 km. It, then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the meantime, due to minor breakdown, the other bus has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between the two buses at this point?

    A.

    85 km

    B.

    80 km

    C.

    65 km

    D.

    75 km

    Correct option is C

    Distance between starting points = 150 km.
    Journey of first bus = 25 km, then takes a right turn and then runs for 15 km, then turns left and runs for another 25 km and takes the direction back to reach the main road.
    Journey of second bus = 35 km along the main road
    Let first bus started from point X.
    After running for 25 km, it reaches point A.
    =>Then took a right turn and then runs for 15 km.
    => After reaching point B, turns left and runs parallel to main road for another 25 km.
    After reaching point C, takes the left turn and reached the main road at point D.
    Total distance covered by the first bus along main road = 25 + 25 = 50 km
    Let second bus started from point Y.
    => Due to a minor breakdown, the second bus has run only 35 km along the main road and reached point E
    Total distance covered by the second bus along main road = 35 km
    Distance between both the buses = 150 - (50 + 35)
    => 150 - 85
    => 65 km
    The distance between the two buses at the end is 65 km.
