you are correct but i would like to say that this is different from that question what you think in this questtion it has been given that when both reach mid point of distance not the time after meeting each other so carefully read and understand the sense

Dear student
Given answer is correct
Please read the Question carefully
Alternate solution
T1 = 10/3 , T2 = 24/5
we know the speed is inversly praportional to time
so, S1 = 3/10 , S2 = 5/24
given S1 = 80
compare the speed
x * 3/10 = 80
x = 800/3
Req. answer is = 800/3 x 5/24
= 500/9
