- at 1:30 pm
Distance covered by Asha in 2.5 hrs(upto when Nisha starts)= 4*2.5=10 Km.
After Nisha starts, she will meet Asha when the difference of 10 km. will be covered with relative speed of 9-4=5 km/hr, so time required for this=10/5=2 hours
So the time Nisha meets Asha is 11:30 + 2hrs=1:30 pm - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(24) No(0)

distance covered by the asha while nisha starts=4*2.5=10km
now after 2hours ahsa covered the distance of 8km and nisha covered the distance of 18km
so asha covered the distance=10+8=18km
at 18km nisha meets asha and at 1:30pm - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
