As the ratio of the speeds of A and B is 3:2 the distance covered by A is 300 m and by B is 200 m when they meet for the first time. After that A goes towards Q and B goes towards P. As, the total distance covered by A and B is already 500+2*500+2*500=2500 m when they meet for the 3rd time,
so, the distance covered by A is 3/5*2500=1500 m when they meet for the 3rd time.
a.) Distance from P to the meeting point when they meet for the 2nd time is 170 m.
Distance from P when they meet for the 3rd time is 230 m.
