Draw the figure for above problem

let the ground is DE and where the ground nut is placed is C.

NOW DC= X,CE=250-X.

NOW AD=200  BE=150

ACCORDING TO QUESTION AC=BC

AC=SQRT(200*200+X*X)

BC=SQRT(150*150+(250-X)*(250-X)

EQUALATE THEM AND FIND OUT X

(250-x)^2+200^2=x^2+150^2

500x=80000

x=160m

Answer is 160 m

Since there speed is same and time to reach the grain is also same.
Therefore there distance is different.
As s1=d1/t and s2=d2/t
since s1=s2,
therefore d1=d2
d1^2=x^2 + 200, d2^2=(250-x)^2 + 150^2
solving the eq you will get the ans. (250-x)^2+150^2=x^2+200^2
ans is 90ft

actually iam an silent member of this group ok me too going to atted the infy test on 6thaug. the answer is by phythogorous therom: let x be the dist bt tower a and grain 200^2+x^2= (250-x)^2+150^2solve this for answer.ans is 11 if is wrong pls send the corret solution.

suppose the diatance from tower A is x

so from tower B its dis is 250-x

so dis travelled by two birds will be=

    (200)*(200)+(x*x)=(150)*(150)+(250-x)*(250-x)

    =90ft

200*200 + x*x = (250-x)*(250-x) +(150*150)
40000 + x*x = 250*250 +x*x - 2*250*x + 150*150
x*x is canceled
40000= 62500 - 500x + 22500
40000 = 85000 - 500x
500x = 85000 - 40000
500x= 45000
x= 90

Since both birds has same speed and they reach the grain at same time. This mean both cover same distance. Let x be the distance of grain from tower A. then 250-x from B. then (200)sqre+xsqre=(250-x)sqre+150sqre

After solving we get x=90 meter. i.e. 90 meter from tower A

Speed and time taken by both the birds are same, so distance(d) will be definitely the same. Let the distance between A and grain be x. By Pythagoras theorem, d^2= 200^2 + x^2 and d^2= 150^2 + (250-x)^2. Solving these, we get x=90 Ft.
