A truck left a depot at noon traveling an average speed of 40 km/h. How far from the depot and at what time will it overtake another truck, which left the same depot 2 hours earlier and was traveling 30km/h

at 6.00 p. m. it will overtake and distance will be 6 X40 = 240km/h from the depot

Step-by-step explanation:

Earlier truck is 2 X 30 = 60km/h away from the depot by the time the second truck starts 40km / h

Net speed of second truck = 40-30 = 10km / hour

Distance = 60km

Time = Distance / speed = 60/10 = 6 hours
