Since Abdul and Bard are both at the same distance from the School
Abdul - School - Barb
Since Barb's house is halfway between the School and Carlos's school
School - Barb - Carlos
Since the school is 4 miles from Carlos's house, School is 2 miles away from the Barb's house.
Since Abdul and Barb are at same distance from the School, even Abdul is 2 miles away from school.
Abdul -2- School -2- Barb -2- Carlos
So distance between Abdul's and Carlos's houses are 2+ 2+ 2 = 6km(Option D)
Abdul - School - Barb
Since Barb's house is halfway between the School and Carlos's school
School - Barb - Carlos
Since the school is 4 miles from Carlos's house, School is 2 miles away from the Barb's house.
Since Abdul and Barb are at same distance from the School, even Abdul is 2 miles away from school.
Abdul -2- School -2- Barb -2- Carlos
So distance between Abdul's and Carlos's houses are 2+ 2+ 2 = 6km(Option D)
