    After 1 hour they meet.

    Explanation:

    Distance between them = 6 miles

    Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

    Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

    Relative velocity = 2.5 - (-3.5) = 6 miles per hour

    We know

    Displacement = Velocity x Time

    6 = 6 x Time taken

    Time taken = 1 hour

    After 1 hour they meet.
