If they continue traveling at these rates, at which floor will their paths cross?

(A) 19
(B) 28
(C) 30
(D) 32
(E) 44
both are travelling in the opposit direction...net speed is 120 floors per minute

2 floors per second...in 10 seconds both would have travelled 20 floors which is 30th floor for both of them

hence C
