Case Study

It is 29th May, 2008. 7.15 AM.

Two persons A and B decide to meet in Delhi. A flew to Delhi from Chennai and reached Delhi at 2330 on 28th May. He stayed at Surajmal Vihar overnight.

B takes a train from Nagpur and has reached Delhi at 0700 hours on 29th May. He is at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station.

  • Both A and B have to meet a company representative at 10 AM at Okhla. But they need to meet atleast an hour in advance to make a presentation.
  • The company has booked a guest house for A and B at Faridabad.
  • B has to freshen up, have a bath before the meeting. He has to go to the Guest House.
  • A can't leave Surajmal Vihar before 8 AM.

  • Surajmal Vihar to Nizamuddin takes 30 minutes. Nizamuddin to Okhla takes 45 minutes. Surajmal Vihar to Okhla is 1 hour. Surajmal Vihar to Faridabad is 1.5 hours. Okhla to Faridabad is 45 minutes. Nizamuddin to Faridabad is 60 minutes.
  • B has no idea of the Delhi geography, so he'd ideally like to meet A to avoid moving around in Delhi alone.
  • A is carrying a laptop.
  • The mode of travel in all cases will be Autorickshaw.
  • B has only 10 Rupees balance on the phone and he can't recharge his phone. Mobile phone is the only mode of communication between A and B.
What Should A and B do, given the above constraints?

PS: Now that you've read it; this is exactly the situation I found myself on 29th May at 7.15 AM. A would be me and B would be Uss. :-)
