Let the buggies start towards each other simultaneously and collide after time t sec.

Initial distance between the buggies=160-25=135cm
Distance travelled by Buggy A in this time interval=14.55t cm
Distance travelled by Buggy B in the same time interval=39.27t cm
Total distance travelled by both = Initial distance.
:.14.55t+39.27t=135
=>53.54t=135
Solving for t
t~~2.5s
Distance moved by Buggy A in this time=14.55t~~36.7cm

Along the meter stick the collision occurs at
25+36.7=61.7cm mark
