A bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has a speed of 18 m/h while the other has the speed of 27km/h. The bird starts moving from first car towards the other and is moving with the speed of 36km/h and when the two cars were separted by 36 km. What is the total distance covered by the bird? What is the total displacement of the bird?

The total time duration For the two cars to meet
= total distance/relative velocity
= 36 km / (18+27) kmph = 4/5 hours
In this duration, the 1st car travels : 4/5 hr* 18 kmph = 14.4 km
That is the meeting point.
In this time period, the bird could travel : 4/5 hr * 36 kmph = 28.8 km
This is the total distance travelled by the bird. ..
displacement from starting position will be = distance of the meeting point from the starting point of 1st car: 14.4 km
=======================================
alternately,
Bird meets car2, after t = 36/63 hr = 4/7 hr
At this time distance between car1 and bird/car2: 4/7 *(36-18)=72/7 km
Bird meets car1 after : (72/7) / 54 hrs = 4/21 hrs ie., at total time 16/21 hrs total
The distance between bird/car1 and car2 is now: 36 - (16/21)*45 = 12/7 km
Bird meets car2 now after (12/7) km/63 kmph = 4/147 hrs at time total = 116/147 hrs
Now the distance between Bird/Car2 and car1 will be: 36 - 116/147 * 45 = 72/147 km
Bird meets car1 now after: (72/147) / 54 =4 / 441 hrs at total time: 352/441 hrs
Now distance between car1/Bird and car2 is: 36 - 352/441 * 45 = 12 /147
The shuttling durations of bird are: 4/7, 4/21, 4/147, 4/441,
Distance 36, 12/7 , 12/147
Total of the shuttling times = 4/7 + 4/147 + ... + 4/21 + 4/441+...
= (4/7) / [1 - 1/21] + (4/21) / [1 - 1/21]
= 3 / 5 hrs. + 1/5 hrs = 4/5 hours
Total distance travelled by bird: 4/5 hrs * 36 kmph = 28.8 km
= total distance/relative velocity
= 36 km / (18+27) kmph = 4/5 hours
In this duration, the 1st car travels : 4/5 hr* 18 kmph = 14.4 km
That is the meeting point.
