Answer is 1000 miles...


Between 10 am to 10:30am, A covered 100miles while B covered 125miles...

So, distance left for A is 700 - 100 = 600 miles
And distance left for B is 925-125 = 800 miles...

So to get distance apart, we use Pythagoras's rule:

I.e, d^2 = 800^2 + 600^2

Finally, d = 1000 miles
