Given:

Speed of Sujata = 2.85 km/hr

Speed of Anjali = 1.5 m/sec

Distance between them = 693 m

Concept used:

Relative speed when two persons travel with speeds of x km/hr and y km/hr in opposite directions is (x + y) km/hr.

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculation:

2.85 km/hr = 2.85 × (5/18)

⇒ 0.79 m/s

Relative speed = 0.79 + 1.5 = 2.29 m/s

Time = Distance/relative speed

⇒ Time = 693/2.29

⇒ Time = 302.62 seconds

⇒ Time =  5.04 minutes 

They will meet for the first time after 5.04 minutes.
