Time Of Arrival?

One day Rohit decided to walk all the way from city Bangalore to Tumkur. He started exactly at noon. And Samit in city Tumkur decided to walk all the way to Bangalore from Tumkur and he started exactly at 2 P.M. on the same day.

Both met on the Bangalore - Tumkur Road at five past four, and both reached their corresponding destination at exactly the same time.

At what time did we both arrive?

Finding The Time Of Arrival


What was the puzzle? 

Let 'x' km/minute be the speed of Rohit's walk. He started to walk at 12 PM & met Samit at 4:05 PM. That means he has walked for 245 minutes. 

Distance traveled by Rohit = 245x km

Let 'y' km/minute be the speed of Samit's walk. He started to walk at 2 PM & met Samit at 4:05 PM. That means he has walked for 125 minutes.

Distance traveled by Samit = 125y km
