Correct Answer: 60 m
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have the distance between between Prakash's house and Daksh's house.
From the above diagram, Using the Pythagoras theorem, we can find the values of X and Y – (40) 2 + (Y) 2 = (50) 2 1600 + (Y) 2 = 2500 (Y) 2 = 2500 – 1600 (Y) 2 = 900 Y = 30 Similarly, (40) 2 + (X) 2 = (50) 2 1600 + (X) 2 = 2500 (X) 2 = 2500 – 1600 (Y) 2 = 900 X = 30
So, the value (X + Y) = 30 + 30 = 60m. Hence, the third option is correct.
