Car A travels due east at an initial velocity of 10km/hour then constantly increased in velocity until it reached 50 km/ hour after 30 minutes then it maintained the velocity for the rest of its travel. Car B has an initial velocity of 90 km/ hour and gradually decelerates to a velocity of 60 km/hr after traveling for 20 minutes it then maintained the velocity of 60 km/hour for the rest of its travel time. If car B travels due east 15 minutes after car A started at what distance from their starting point will car B overtake car A.
