SaveThe roads on Bolandia all run either north - south or east - west and are laid out on a 5km grid. Ahmed and Wayne are delivery drivers. One morning, Ahmed starts at Abbeytown and drives 5km west then 15km south to reach Barneyville. He then drives 5km east to Carloston. Wayne started at Barneyville, drove 5km south to Denburgh then 10km east and 15km north to Easterby. Ahmed then rings Wayne to arrange to meet for lunch.
If one of them stays where he is, what is the minimum distance the other must drive to meet him?
