Time needed = t = 20.83 s
Further explanation
Given
car speed = 85 km/h
truck speed = 73 km/h
Required
the time it takes for the car to reach the truck
Solution
When the car reaches the truck, the distance between them will be the same
x car - 250 m = x truck
General formula for distance (d) :
d = v.t
So the equation becomes :
85t-250 = 73t
12t=250
t = 20.83 s
