126

They will meet after (246-24)/(51+60)=2 mins
They will be at floor 24+51*2=246-60*2=126

Let X be the floor at which Jack and Jill will be together.
The time to reach the X floor is going to be the same for both elevators, then we can write the following equation;
(X - 24) / 51 = ( 246 - X) / 60
Solving this equation, it gives X = 126th floor
