2. **Ishu's position**:
Ishu starts at the floor and rides down at a rate of floors per minute. Her floor position at time is given by:
Their paths will cross when they are on the same floor, i.e., :
Add to both sides and subtract from both sides:
Now, substitute the value of back into either floor equation to find the crossing floor:
Alternatively, using Ishu's equation:
Hence, they cross at the floor.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
