    Answer:

    250cm or 2.5m

    Explanation:

    using direct variation

    the length is = l

    the time (year) = t

    let k be the constant

    so he have:

    l=kt

    2.5=k× 1

    k= 2.5

    Now in the next statement the 100 is given but not the length so

    l=kt

    ~ l=k× 100 years

    But k = 2.5

    so :

    l= 2.5×100

    l= 250 cm

    Hence it will be 250cm or 2.5m at which they will get separated
