Which reminds me of a lame question, tell me this :

Two planes A and B , start to fly at the same time from their respective destinations, one from mumbai and other new york respectively, A is going towards Mumbai and B to NY.

They travel through the same route.A travels at 800 km/hr and B at 1000km/hr. The distance between mumbai is NY is 1600km (not actual value). So my question is, when they meet, which one is closer to mumbai ?
