- Log x 2 = 1 / Log2x
Log 2 x + 1/ Log 2 x = 2
Let Log2x be y

y2 -y-y+1=0
y(y-1)-1(y-1)=0

Van → time = Distance = 400km = 3hr 20min
speed 120km/h
time arrived ar P = 8:30
+3:20
11:50am - Distance covered by 8:30 = 80 x 1/2 = 40km
Remaining distance = 400 - 40 = 360km
Relative speed = 120 + 80 = 200km/h
time taken to meet = 360/200 = 1hr 48min
Time they met:
8:30am

10:18am - from 8:30 am, truck covers:
80km/h x 1.8hrs
=144km
Distance from town P to meeting
144 + 40= 184km - Time the truck travels by the time the van arrives
3hrs 20 mi + 30 min
