Solution
Maithili, Shaila, and Ajay live in three distinct locations, therefore lines connecting their homes will create a triangle. We can determine the position of the toy shop, which is equidistant from three dwellings, by drawing the perpendicular bisector of the triangle’s sides. We will locate the shop at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.
