Two cars start from the opposite places of a main road, 150 km apart. First car runs for 25 km and takes a right turn and then runs 15 km. It then turns left and then runs for another 25 km and then takes the direction back to reach the main road. In the mean time, due to minor break down the other car has run only 35 km along the main road. What would be the distance between two cars at this point?

@All.
In the question, it is said that two cars on the main road. That means the second is still on the main road whereas the first car travelled a right side of the main for 15 km. It formed the right-angled triangle. For the two cars present positions, then the options given are not correct.
Please clarify my doubt

It will take 90 because it is mentioned that the car was going to the main road.

As clearly mentioned in the question.
After 25km first car takes right and travels 15 km and then it travels to left 15 km, now in question they said that car takes back to reach the main road means car reaches to the same point where it had taken 1st turn so total distance travelled by car on the main road is still 25 km and 2nd car is 35 km so from this explanation answer is 90km is the distance between two cars.

As per my understanding, the distance 150 km given between the two cars is on the main road(horizontally shown in the diagram), it does not include other roads it took turns to, so we'll not add the distance travelled by the first car to go back to the main road. So simply it will be 150 - (25 + 25 + 35) = 65.

150 - (25 + 25) + 35 = 150 - 50 + 35,
= 150 - 85,
= 65.
= 150 - 85,
= 65.
