    They meet after the time t from the departure

    During this time, one goes through the distance

    S1 = V1 * t

    and the second goes through the distance

    S2 = V2 * t

    The sum of the two distances gives us total distance

    S1 + S2 = S

    Replace S1 and S2 in this last equation

    V1 * + V2 * t = S

    t (V1 + V2) = S where we take out the time they meet

    t = S / (V1 + V2)

    V1 = V2

    t = 10 / 2V1 = 10/200 = 0.05 hours
