This is a very common type of uniform rates question. Let's try it this way:

Let x = how many hours until specified distance sum
J = rate for Jaypee, 60 kph
V = rate for Vic, 70 kph
D = the total distance 650 kms, between them at time x hours

PERSON_________rate_________time___________distance
Jaypee_________J____________x______________Jx
Vic____________V____________x______________Vx
TOTAL______________________________________D

Use the total of the sum of distances, and make the equation:

Solve for x,
