    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that at 11:00 AM a bus left San Jose travelling to Los Angeles at 48 mph. Hence in 4 hours it would have travelled

    48x4 = 192 miles

    When the bus travelled 192 miles a motorcyclist started in the same direction with speed 72 mph

    Difference in speed per hour = 72-48 = 24 mph

    TO cover the distance of 72 miles, time taken for the motorcycist would be

    192/24 = 8 hours

    In 8 hours or at 11.00 p. m. motorcycle will catch upto the bus,
