if they are to meet, the presumption (since not stated) is that they are walking toward each other.
---
let =distance walked by A
let =distance walked by B
let =walking rate by A = 80 kmph
let =walking rate by B = 60 kmph
let t=time they meet
----
you need to know the relationship: distance = rate*time: d=r*t
--
given d=
d= (same t because they meet at a common time)
210=80*t+60*t=140*t
210/140=t
--
t=1.5 hours
