Re: Two long time friends want to meet for lunch on a free weekend. One [#permalink]
Problem Type: Meeting Problem

Concept to be applied:
1. When 2 entities travel towards each other and meet at a certain point, the sum of the distance travelled by each entity is equal to the initial total distance between the starting points.
2. Travel time of both the entities will be the same.

Solution

Portland------------------X------------------Seattle
|<--------------------200 mi------------------->|

Ann--> 50 mi/hr......................70 mi/hr <--Bill

x = Meeting Point
Travel Time by each person = t


Distance travelled by Ann: Da = Speed x Time = 50 x t = 50t
Distance travelled by Bill: Db = Speed x Time = 70 x t = 70t

Total Distance between 2 cities: D = Da + Db = 200 mi
=> D = 50t + 70t = 200
=> 120t = 200
=> t = 200/120 = 1.67

Meeting Point Distance from Portland = x = Speed of Ann x Travel Time
X = 50 x t = 50 x 1.67 = 83.5 mi.
