Smith overtakes the bus at (2/3)×60=40 minutes

What is speed?

A body is said to have speed v if he travels v distance in unit time.

How to solve it?

Suppose that Smith overtakes the bus at a time 't'. Then the distance traveled by bus is 48×t m and that by Smith is 64×(t-1/6).

Smith needs t-1/6 hours to reach the same position that the bus is in.

Since Smith leaves ten minutes later hence it takes t-1/6 hours for him to overtake the bus.

Because 10 minutes is equal to 10/60=1/6 hour.

So,

48×t=64×(t-1/6)

⇒t=2/3

Hence, Smith overtakes the bus at (2/3)×60=40 minutes
