RE: A & B two places. C & D are two people. C started ...

First assume time at which they meet each other as 't' now get the ratio of speeds of c & d which is 4:3.

speed of c:s1

speed of d:s2

s1*108 s2*104 (d s*t 108sec taken by c to readch other end and 144 by d)

s1:s2 4:3

let x distance be covered by C and y distance covered by d when they meet each other at time 't'

x/s1 y/s2 (t d/s )

x/y 4/3

y x-18 bcoz distance travelled by c when they met was 18m more than d

3x 4(x-18)

x 72

x y+18

3(y+18) 4y

y 54

x+y 126
