You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They meet at 4 pm
from noon till 1 pm vikrant has traveled 1/6 of the distance
there is 5/6 to finish
viraat goes 2 miles for every three miles that vikrant
They travel another 3 hours and vikrant goes 3/6 and viraat goes 2/6
They meet at 4 pm
vikrant has traveled 4 hours and viraat 3 hours
vikrant is 2/3 the way from P to Q and viraat is 1/3 from Q to P
They meet at 4 pm
