Two men $A$ and $B$ are standing on a plank. $B$ is at the middle of the plank and $A$ is at the left end of the plank. The bottom surface of the plank is smooth. The system is initially at rest and the masses are as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ start moving such that the position of $B$ remains fixed with respect to the ground and $A$ meets $B$. Then the point where $A$ meets $B$ is located at
