The persons who are running in opposite direction can only meet with each other.So the person with 20 kmph and person with 30 kmph speed will meet after 2 hrs. and person with 15kmph will meet after 2.13 hrs.Three persons can never meet with each other.

Total distance = 100 km
P1 goes speed of 20 km/h
and P3 comes speed of 30km/h from the other end
In 1st hour, p1 goes 20 km at that time p3 comes 30 km()
In 2nd hour, p2 goes 40 km at that time p3 comes 60 km (40 + 60 = 100km)
so after 2 hours they will meet each other(answer)
speed of p2 is 15 km/h
at 1st hour p2 goes 15 km whereas p3 comes 30 km (30 + 15 = 45 km)
at 2nd hour p2 goes 30 km whereas p3 comes 60 km (60 + 30 = 90 km)
Try to understand here
when p2 goes 15 km at that time p3 comes 30 km
Therefore when p2 goes 1 km p3 comes 30/15 = 2 km.
after 2 hours distance between p2 and p3 is 10 km
p2 goes 15 km in 60 minutes
he will go 1 km in 4 minutes
here p3 comes 30 km in 60 minutes ,
so he will come 1 km in 2 minutes
when p2 goes 3 km s in 12 minutes, at the same time p3 comes 6 km.
hence after 2hours and 12 minutes distance between p2 and p3 is 1km.
so the answer will be 2hours 14 minutes approx
