at 2 : 15 pm c will get the message.
at 10 : 00 am, A ⇒3 km/h
at 11 : 00 am , B ⇒4 km/h
at 12 : 00 am, C ⇒5 km/h
distance travelled by A in 1 hour = 3km
relative velocity of B with respect to A = 4 - 3 = 1 km/h
so, time taken to meet A and B = 3km/(1km/h) = 3h
so, at 11 : 00 am + 3 hr = 2 : 00 pm , A and B meet.
in 3hrs , distance travelled by A = 3 × 4 = 12km
distance travelled by C in 2 hrs (i.e., 2: 00 pm - 12: 00am) = 5 km/h × 2hrs = 10 km
so, seperation between A and C = 12km - 10km = 2 km
and relative velocity of C with respect to A = 5 + 3 = 8 km/h
now time taken to meet A and C = 2km/(8km/h) = 1/4 hr = 15 min
hence, at 2 : 15 pm c will get the msg.
