Runner PP starts at t=0t=0 with position xP(t)=4tx_P(t)=4t meters. Runner QQ starts from the same point 22 seconds later and thereafter moves with position xQ(t)=6(t−2)x_Q(t)=6(t-2) meters for t≥2t\ge 2. For t≥2t\ge 2, at what time do the runners meet? a) 5 s5\,\text{s} b) 4 s4\,\text{s} c) 6 s6\,\text{s} d) 8 s8\,\text{s}
