Two cars A and B start running from the opposite ends X and Y of a national highway with a length of 120 Km. Car A starts from end X and runs 30 Km straight. It then takes a right turn and runs 15 Km, then turns left and runs for 30 Km. Thereafter, the car turns towards the highway and reaches back on the highway. In the meantime, the car B has also started running from the other end Y of the highway, but due to a minor breakdown could run only for 35 Km along the highway till the time the car A has reached back on the highway. What is the distance between two cars at this point?

Correct Option: 4

Doesn't matter what turns B took, in the end, it has travelled 6060 km along the national highway of length 120120 km.
And A has travelled 3535 km. Hence, distance between them 1206035=25120-60-35=25 km.
