let they meet after x hours after 4 p.m. i.e. after Ajeet starts .
so distance travelled by Kishore = 25( x+ 9)
distance travelld by Rakesh = 30( x+ 5)
diatance travelledby Ajeet = 40 x
so 40 x= 25( x+ 9)
15x = 225
x= 225/15 = 15 hour answer

They will meet after fifteen hours. 40*15=30*(15+5)=25*(15+9)=600.
