Let's say the bodies starting from P and Q are A and B respectively.
When the first meet, they cover a total distance of D (0.6D by A and 0.4D by B)
For every subsequent meet, both of them will cover 2D distance combined.
(If you already know the explaination of 2D, you can skip this part)
After the first meet, A is at 0.6D mark and so is B.
A will now cover 0.4D to reach B and B will cover 0.6D to reach A -> This means they have covered D distance for now when they will start moving in opposite directions.
Both of them will now start from the ends (P and Q), so whenever they will meet, they will cover another D distance combined.
Hence, a total of 2D distance for every subsequent meet
So, total distance covered for the meets
1st -> D
2nd -> D + 2D = 3D
3rd -> 3D + 2D = 5D
4th -> 5D + 2D = 7D
A covered 0.6D distance for a total of D distance, so will cover 4.2D for 7D distance.
Since the total distance is D, A will have covered 4 complete rounds and would be at a distance of 0.2D from P.
Hope this helps.

Here's one way to go about it:
First, list out all the points for A: 0.6, 0.8 (0.4 to reach point Q and then 0.2 back), 0.2, 0.4, 1, 0.4, 0.2;
Next, list out all the points for B: 0.6, 0.2, 0.2 (0.2 to reach point P and then 0.2 back), 0.6, 1, 0.6, 0.2;
Therefore, the 4th time they meet is at 0.2D.
