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.	Answers:
A) 1100 yards  B) 1200 yards  C) 1300 yards  D) 1400 yards  E) 1000 yards

Rationale: "if x is the distance , a is speed of a and b is speed of b , then ; 500 / a = ( x - 500 ) / b and ( x + 300 ) / a = ( 2 x - 300 ) / b , solving it , we get x = 1200 yards answer : b"
Answer: B
