    a simple approach using python

    even works for cases when x2 is not given to be greater than x1.

    def kangaroo(x1, v1, x2, v2):
    if (x1<x2 and v1<=v2) or (x1>x2 and v1>=v2):
        return "NO"
    else:
        t=0
        while   (( min(x1,x2)+t*max(v1,v2) )<=( max(x1,x2)+t*min(v1,v2) )) :
            if ( min(x1,x2)+t*max(v1,v2) )==( max(x1,x2)+t*min(v1,v2) ):
                return "YES"
            t+=1
        return "NO"
