Answer should be E.
Durgapur = Rampur+20.
Devipur = Rampur+15.
Subtracting two equations we get.
Durgapur-Devipur = 5m, which means distance between them is 5kms.
Durgapur = Rampur+20.
Devipur = Rampur+15.
Subtracting two equations we get.
Durgapur-Devipur = 5m, which means distance between them is 5kms.
