It will take an hour for plane A to meet plane B which is flying towards it.
If, within 45 minutes, the distance between them will be 200 miles, how far apart are they now?
:
That means they will have to cover 200 mi in the final 15 min
If it takes 15 min to cover 200 mi, in 45 min they would cover 600 mi
In 1 hr the would cover 800 mi, that is the distance between them
