62In the earth frame they will meet at the center of mass. always.
The center of mass will be 1/3rd distance from Ram
This is bcos if u take these 3(ram, laxman and the rod) as a system. there is no external force
In the reference to the rod.. they will obviously meet at different points.
1centre of mass in all cases..
as centre of mass hs no force acting over it
