        The solution and the answer in the post by @mananth both are incorrect.

        I came to bring a correct answer.



<pre>
The approaching rate of the planes is  240 + 360 = 600 kilometers per hour.


Therefore, the time before they meet each other is  {{{500/600}}} = {{{5/6}}} of an hour, or 50 minutes.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved correctly and right answer is obtained, disproving the solution by @mananth.
