the answer is At 9:48 PM
At 1:00 pm the difference between A & B = 8 km
after 2:00 pm ………………. = 11 km (as B’s speed
is 1 and A’s 4 km, then eqv speed=(4-1)=3 km)
After 3:00………………….. = 13 km (as B’s speed 2 km)
After 4:00………………….. = 14 km
after 5:00………………….. = 14 km (A’s speed= B’s
speed)
after 6:00………………….. = 13 km
after 7:00………………….. = 11 km
after 8:00………………….. = 8 km
after 9:00………………….. = 4 km
and now the eqv speed is= (9-4) =5 km/hr;
and the renaming distance is 4 km;
then, time=(60*4)/5=48 min;
then the meeting time is=9:00+48 min=9:48 pm;
