Parmeet and Charu walk with the same speed that means both must travel the same distance that is 140m.

But displacement (Straight shortest distance) for Charu is (60 + 40) = 100m.

Together they have travelled more than 200 m, which means they have crossed each other.

Therefore, the distance between them is (100 + 140) - 200

Hence, the correct answer is 40m.
