question mark

Truck A travels at a constant speed of 50 miles/h on a straight road. Truck B travels at a constant speed of 70 miles/h in the same direction. Truck A passes a gas station at 12 noon. Truck B passes the same gas station at 12:30 pm. At what time does truck B catch up with truck A? How far are the trucks from the gas station when this happens?

At the gas station the time difference between both trucks is 30 minutes
So when truck B reaches at gas station ,mean while Truck has passed
distance=1/2*50=25 miles
Now the speed difference =70-50=20 miles/hr
Thus the truck B will compensate these 25 miles
in=25/20=1.25 hr
Hence the truck B will catch truck B after 1.25 hrs from 12:300 Pm
=12:30+1.25 hr=12:30+1hr 15 min
=1:45 PM
Thus trucks will meet at 1:45 hrs
****************************************************
II Distance of trucks from gas station  when they meet
=Distance travelled by truck B in 1.25 hrs
=1.25*70=87.50 miles from gas station
