answer # 3 is almost correct. they will meet at the center however the time they would take according to my calculation is not 1 unit of time but less than 1 unit of time [approx 0.78 unit of time]. the reason being since all of the four are moving tracing arcs toward the center of the square, the distance of the arc is definitely less than 1 unit [little more than half the diagonal distance, half the diagonal distance is about = 0.707 unit]. the question says speed and not velocity. speed is distance traversed / time taken to cover the distance. Here distance is the length of the arc [0.78 unit] to be precise and not even half the diagonal distance [0.70 unit], leave alone the initial distance [1 unit] between the two people. arc length that I got was using this formula: (2 x pi x 0.5) / 4 = 0.78. Further 1 unit speed = 0.78 unit / time and it follows time = 0.78 unit of time.
