Suyash starts walking from Point A and goes 130 m towards southeast. Pradeep starts walking from Point B and goes 130 m towards southwest. After walking these distances, they both meet at Point C. Point D is located in such a way that if points A and B are connected with a straight line, then D would be the midpoint of that line. The distance between Point C and Point D is 120 m. What is the distance between Point A and Point B ?

Distance between A and D can be calculated using Pythagoras Theorem.

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2

(AC)2 = (AD)+ (CD)2

1302 = (AD)2 + 1202

16900 = (AD)2 + 14400

(AD)2 = 16900 - 14400

(AD)2 = 2500

AD = 50 m

Similarly, BD = 50 m

Therefore, AB = 100 m

Hence, 100 m is the correct answer.
