Question

Ram and Afzal start from the same point in opposite directions. After each 1 km, Ram always turns left and Afzal always turns right.

Which of the following statements is correct?

1. A. After both have travelled 2 km, the distance between them is 4 km

Correct Answer

Option D — They never meet

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is They never meet.

Key Points

• After each 1 km, Ram turns left and Afzal turns right.
• Since they move in opposite directions, both end up turning in the same absolute direction after each km.
• They trace parallel square paths offset by 2 units, maintaining a constant perpendicular distance of 2 km.
• They are always 2 km apart — they never meet.
