11. A, B, C are three towns forming a triangle. A man has to walk from one town to the next town, then ride to the
next, and then again drive towards his starting point. He can walk, ride, and drive a km in a, b, c minutes
respectively. If he starts from B, he takes a + c - b hours, if he starts from C, he takes b + a - c hours, and if he
starts from A, he takes c + b - a hours. The length of the triangle is : (Assume the motion to be anticlockwise)
