Meeting point

Ant 1 ..................................................|......................................Ant 2



Let Total distance = d feets

S1 = (8d) / 300 ft/hr --------- equation(1)
S2 = (7d) / ( 120 * 2.5 ) ft / hr ---------equation(2)

Time taken ( T1 ) by Ant 1 to cover 800 ft = (30000) / d
in the same time Ant 2 will cover = S2 * T1 = 700 ft

Total distance to be covered by Ant 2 = 800+700

So put d = 1500 in equation 2

S2 = 35 ft/hr (Answer)
