Let me try.
A-------175m---------¡----25m----B
Faster (F) one covers= 200 +25 = 225m
Slower (S) one covers= 175m
Let the speed of F be 1 m/s.
So both F and S takes 225 sec.
Speed of S = 175/225 = 7/9.
So now F takes 175 sec to reach point A, so in 175 sec S would cover=
175 * 7/9 = 135.8m
So now remaining 25m of S to reach B will be deducted, so reamining is
200- 110.8 = About 90m from A.
Hence, choice C.
