Two taxies start from the opposite points of a main road, 150 kms apart. The first taxi runs for 25 kms and takes a right turn and then runs for 15 kms. It then turns left and runs for another 25 kms and again after taking a left turn it reaches to main road. In the meantime, due to a minor breakdown, the other taxi has run only 35 kms along the main road. What would be the distance between the two taxies at this point?

According to the given information :

From figure,
Total distance = 150 Kms apart.
Taxi 1st has run a total distance = 25 + 25 = 50 Kms.
Taxi 2nd has run only = 35 Kms.
So, distance between the two taxies at this point = 180 - (50 + 35) = 180 - 85 = 65 Kms.
Hence, the correct answer is "65 Kms".
