A truck, P traveling at 54km/hr passes through a point at 10:30am, while another truck, Q traveling at 90km/hr passes through this same point 30 minutes later. At what time will truck Q overtake P?\\n

 (v_2 /v_1 )= ((x+27)/x)   ; 27 = the distance traveled by P in 30 min   x: the distance traveled by P at the moment the other reaches it   x= 40.5 km ⇒ Time= (x/v_1 )= 45 min   The speed diff.= 10 m.s^(−1)    If length of P is 10m : Q needs 1s to overtake it   Real time= 45 min and one second

You′re very welcome, but don′t forget the   1 sec & moving eyebrows up down to the   P ′s driver during the overtake :)

54×0.5=27 km  90−54=36 km/h  ((27)/(36))=(3/4) h=45 min  10:30 am+45 min=11:15 am ✓

$$\mathrm{54}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{27}\:{km} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{90}−\mathrm{54}=\mathrm{36}\:{km}/{h} \\ $$ $$\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{36}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\:{h}=\mathrm{45}\:{min} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{10}:\mathrm{30}\:{am}+\mathrm{45}\:{min}=\mathrm{11}:\mathrm{15}\:{am}\:\checkmark \\ $$

no it is  11:00 am+45min=11:45 am

$${no}\:{it}\:{is}\:\:\mathrm{11}:\mathrm{00}\:{am}+\mathrm{45}{min}=\mathrm{11}:\mathrm{45}\:{am} \\ $$
