A B are two places C D start walking from A and B respectively Before meeting D C travel 18m

after meeting, ratio of there speed is c/d=root(24/(27/2))
c/d=4/3
after meeting c covers x meter in 27/2 sec at speed of 4
so, x=4*(27/2)
x=54
total distance is x+(x+18)
so, 54+54+18=126

Let C travels (z+18) km D travels z km

Since both of them have taken same time for this,

(
z

)
Speed of C
=

Speed of D
(z+18)Speed of C=zSpeed of D

or
Speed of C
Speed of D
=

z
Speed of CSpeed of D=z+18z ---(A)

Time taken by C to travel z distance = 13.5 minutes

=> Speed of C =

Time taken by D to travel (z+18) distance = 24 minutes

=> Speed of D =

Distance between A & B = z + z + 18 = 54 + 54 + 18 = 126 meter

A & B are two places. C & D start walking from A and B respectively. Before meeting D, C travel 18m more than D. then C takes 13 and half minute and D take 24 minute to reach their destination.
