A boat M leaves shore A and at the same time boat B leaves shore B. They move across the river.
They met at 500 yards away from A and after that they met 300 yards away from shore B without
halting at shores. Find the distance between the shore A & B	Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 1100 yards B) 1200 yards C) 1300 yards D) 1400 yards E) None of these
Explanation :   The boats first met after 500yards from A.   Let the total distance between A and B be x.   Then,   500/a = x - 500 / b, ------------(1)   where, a = speed of A,   b = speed of B.   Assuming both boats are coming back to their original start place without halting at the shores,   Distance coverred by A = x + 300   Distance covered by 1200 yards = 2x - 300   x+300/a = 2x-300/b -----------------------(2)   From above,   500/x-500 = x+300/2x-300   Solve, for x = 1200   Answer : 1200 yards
