Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a straight line, if A is 10 meters ahead of B and C is 5 meters behind B, how far is C from A?
  • Step 1: Understand the positions of A, B, and C. A is ahead of B by 10 meters.
  • Step 2: Since A is ahead of B, we can say that if B is at position 0 meters, then A is at position 10 meters.
  • Step 3: C is behind B by 5 meters. If B is at position 0 meters, then C is at position -5 meters.
  • Step 4: Now, we need to find the distance from C to A. A is at 10 meters and C is at -5 meters.
  • Step 5: To find the distance between A and C, we calculate: 10 meters (position of A) - (-5 meters (position of C)) = 10 + 5 = 15 meters.
  • Step 6: Therefore, C is 15 meters behind A.
