<span>The major difference is the presence or absence of external energy source. In an electrolytic cell, one does not need an outside source of energy like a battery while in a voltaic cell the reaction occurs simultaneously, or without help. The other major difference is that in an electrolytic cell, the flow of electrons is from positive(cathode) to negative(anode). In a voltaic cell the flow of electrons is from negative(anode) to positive(cathode).</span>

Answer:

The corridor's distance is "90 m".

Explanation:

She heads in the east directions but creates the first pause, meaning she crosses the distance 'x' in step 1.
Now, provided that perhaps the distance by her to another fountain or waterfall just after the first stop is twice as far away she traveled.
Because she moved the distance of 'x,' then, therefore, her distance towards the fountain of '2x.' She casually strolls and once again pauses 60 m beyond her stop.
The gap about her to the waterfall during that time approximately twice the distance and her to the eastern end of the hallway.
Assume her gap from either the east end of the platform seems to be 'y' at either the second stop, after which '2y' may become the distance between the 2nd pause and the waterfall.

Now,

⇒ $2x + 2y = 60$
