$A$ bird is tossing (flying to and fro) between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road. One car has a speed of $54 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ while the other has a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$. The bird starts moving from the first car towards the other and is moving with a speed of $36 \text{ kmh}^{-1}$ when the two cars are separated by $36 \text{ km}$. The total distance covered by the bird before the cars meet each other is: (in $\text{ m}$)
