As they start a bee takes off from the nose of a cyclist a and heads towards B's nose.It turns back and heads towards A's nose.It continues this back and forth movement till it gets squashed between cyclist.in doing this how much total distance does the bee covers? Given speed of bee is 20 km/hr. Well, he also shared this piece of information. Hope all the readers will like it...
