In 2 seconds, Person A must have walked 4m and so the difference between them would be (600-4=596m). Now they are walking in opposite direction. So their relative speed would be 2+2=4m/sec Distance between them after 1 sec would be 596 - 4x1 Distance between them after 2 sec would be 596 - 4x2 Distance between them after 3 sec would be 596 - 4x3 So Now, can you guess the distance beetween them after t sec ?
