Rahul starts walking from point R, which is 16 m to the west of point T. From point R, he walks 20 m to the south, takes a right turn and walks for 10m. He then takes a right turn, walks for 6m and stops at point C. Gaurav starts walking from point A, which is 8 m to the south of point T. From point A, he walks 10m to the East, takes a right turn and walks for 6m. He then takes a right turn walks for 26m and stops at point B. What is the distance between point C and point B?
Plotting with T at origin: Rahul ends at C(−26,−14); Gaurav ends at B(−16,−14). Both share y=−14, so distance = |−16−(−26)| = 10 m.
