spd of bird is 120. and spd of second car is 60. So relative speed = 180
Dist = 12
Time take to cover 12km is 12/180= 4 mnt.
So in 4 mnt 1st car goes 60*4/60= 4 and 2nd goes 60*4/60= 4
So remaining dist= 12-2*4 = 4 Km.

Nxt stp
4Km/180 = 4/3 mnt.
in 4/3 mnt 1st car goes 60 * (4/3) * (1/60) = 4/3 and 2nd = 4/3
rem dist = 4 - 8/3 = 4/3

Last case Time to covr 4/3 km is (4/3)/180 = 4/9

So, TOtal Time = 4 + (4/3) + (4/9)
= 5.7 mnts.
Total dist = (5.7/60) * 120 = 11.55 KM
