We can use the formula for when two people moving towards each other and meeting in a straight line.
t2 = t1 × t2
Where t is time taken for them to meet each other. t1 is the time taken by person 1 to reach the destination after meeting and t2 is the time taken by person 2 to reach the destination after meeting
We are told they meet each other in 1 and a half hours, that is 90 minutes.
And if Sunil takes X minutes to reach A, Anil will take X + 75 minutes
Since it is given that, Anil reaches B exactly 1 hour 15 minutes after Sunil reaches A
