    let's say they catch-up to each other after t hour.

    so

    in t hour distance travelled by Renee

    d = speed * time = 50t

    in t hour distance travelled by Kim

    d = speed * time = 60 (t-1) + 0*1 = 60 (t-1)

    Note: here kim didn't covered any distance in first hour and in rest t-1 hour it travelled all distance

    now. as distance travelled by both is same so

    60 (t-1) = 50t

    60t - 60 = 50t

    adding 60 both sides

    60t = 50t+60

    subtracting 50t both sides

    60t - 50t = 50t+60 - 50t

    10t = 60

    dividing by 10 both sides

    t = 60/10 = 6

    so in 6 hour both will catch-up to each other
