A will take 5 hours to go 250 miles
In that 5 hours B will have gone 200 miles and will have to travel another 50 miles.
At 40 mph it will take B another 1 hour 15 mins to travel those 50 miles.

Croeso. I thought it was so simple compared to some other problems they've given in the past, so much so I was waiting for someone to say that I'd lost the plot and was totally wrong. Chuffed I was correct."Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" Cerys Matthews0
