If the distance between A and B is 100m and that of B and C is 500. Then what is the distance between A and C ?

A. 600m
B. more than 600m
C. Between 500m and 600m
D. 700m

• i guess we should consider then in the form of triangle..then we get distance between them between 500 to 600..

• @Ganesh: I think you're right. It can't be 600m.

• the amswer can be between 400m to 600.if three lies on same line like
  C A B,where 400 comes around or A B C,where 600 comes.

• d(AC)=d(AB)+d(BC)= 100+500 = 600 m
  
  A: 600m
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(17)
• those options r not valid for all conditions.
  because if A,B,C are on a straight line then the distance between A and C is may be minimum 400m or maximum 600m

• abc
  so a to c is 100+500=600
  so option a is correct

• between 500m and 600m
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
• can we take pythagoras theorem,AC^2=AB^2+BC^2(ie) Taking square root of 100^2+500^2.we get the answer between 500 and 600

• it should be cccccc
  because either they can be in a straight line...then BC=600m
  OR
  they can be in a triangle AC²=AB²+BC²
  AC≈509m

• if A,B,C colinear, then either B_A___C or A_B_____C, minimum 400 and maximun 600..
  but why everybody says between 500 and 600, i dont know..
  all of you consider a triangle..then how you get the information that it is a rightangle triangle??? u all use the formula AC^2=AB^2+BC^2, but how you came to know that there is a 90 degree angle???
  
  so, this approach is completly wrong..

• i think we have to consider conditon but accoridng to given option 600 matches .....600 will be the answer
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
• D.the distance b/w A and C is 700m
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
• for example AC=AB+BC THEN TELL ME THE ANSWER BY THIS WAY IT IS 600
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• how this possible between 500 to 600.
  any 1 explain step by step

• how can i consider whether it is strightline or triangle?
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 600 may be
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• if those points are lying on the triangle then distance b/w A and C is in b/w 500 to 600
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• answer is 600 conformed.because a to b=100,then b to c=500.so surely a to c =100+500=600.
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• A TO B IS 100
  B TO C IS 500
  A TO C IS 100+500=600
  ANS:600m
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• if ABC are in straight line and B is in middle of A and C then ans is 100+500=600m
  in all the other conditions options are not matching so ans is 600m.
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• i consider it as stright line
  ab=100,bc=500 then ac=600
  the answer is 600

• how we choose AC=AB+BC directly with out any diagram
• 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Between 400m to 600m
  case1: (max)
  A-B-----C
  600m
  
  case2: (min)
  C----A-B
  400m
