.. and there is a banana in between you and the apple, how will you place the banana in a way that the banana is at an infinite distance from both the apple and you?

How many inches is that?
Standing? On what? And how would you know an apple was there if it was and infinite distance away? How would you make that pie?
Try 90 degree angles. Equilateral triangles...
So what's infinity?

An apple at an infinite distance wouldn't exist.
If you moved the banana to wards the point of infinity it would never get there and it's position would always be relevant to you.

Simple Question it just sounds complex. You place the banana at the infinite distance opposite from the apple because infinite squared = infinite.

If you're infinitely distanced from an apple, then you are BEYOND the measure of distance. So forget about the measurement. The monkey's banana however, as it's likewise infinitely distanced from you and your apple, should be in parallel with you and the apple. All three of you are placed in parallel with each other; First line for the apple, second (in between) line for the banana, and third line for you. You all go infinitely without touching each other.

If the apple is infinitely far away, the banana can be placed infinitely far away, but still closer than the apple.
It sounds like nonsense, but infinity does very strange things to notions like 'less than'

position myself in between apple & banana such that the banana is at an infinite distance... Since the apple is at infinite distance..I can't judge where the mid-point is...So,how far I move away from banana & near to apple.. the distance between me & apple is always going to infinite..& continue till the banana is at an infinite distance

You question is illogical, becasue banana is limited in length, so it cant be the measurement of infinite distance. Also becasue no actual distance is infinite, everythings in our physical world are measurable and limited.
And no one can place anything that has the quantity of infinity.
Your question is illogical and meaningless as asking others to draw a circle that has any angle.

You CANNOT be at an infinite distance from something. If you are in relation to smth ( like "far away from"....) there is a tangible mesurement. If there's infinity, then there's no relation. It's like another dimension. It does not concern you, you cannot be "IN RELATION" with such.
