The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

suppose
pipe:
A -30 hours A’s effeciency (60/30) =2
60( lcm of 30 and 20)
B- 20 hours B’s effeciency (60/20)=3

time taken by both to fill = 60/5 =12 as given in question (effeciencies of both a+b =2+3=5)
time taken by faster pipe i.e b = 60/3 =20

time is inversely proportional to speed.
So if speed taken is 4/5 of usual speed, time taken will be 5/4 of usual time
and the difference between time is 10 min
So,
(5/4)t -t=10 min
usual time,t=40 min
late time=40+10=50 min

the answer is At 9:48 PM
At 1:00 pm the difference between A & B = 8 km
after 2:00 pm ………………. = 11 km (as B’s speed
is 1 and A’s 4 km, then eqv speed=(4-1)=3 km)
After 3:00………………….. = 13 km (as B’s speed 2 km)
After 4:00………………….. = 14 km
after 5:00………………….. = 14 km (A’s speed= B’s
speed)
after 6:00………………….. = 13 km
after 7:00………………….. = 11 km
after 8:00………………….. = 8 km
after 9:00………………….. = 4 km
and now the eqv speed is= (9-4) =5 km/hr;
and the renaming distance is 4 km;
then, time=(60*4)/5=48 min;
then the meeting time is=9:00+48 min=9:48 pm;
