The weights are at distances of 0 m, 2 m, 4 m, 6 m and 8 m from X. Let us first keep all the weights at a distance of 8 m from X. This would be 8 + 6*2 + 4*2 + 2*2 = 32 m. Now from the point where all the weights are kept is at a distance of 92 m from Y. So total distance required = 184+184+184+184+92 = 828 m. So in all 860 m.
