Expert Answer
Both thief and owner need to travel the same distance for the owner to catch thief. Also, the time taken by thief is 0.5 hours more than that taken by the owner to cover the same distance.
Hence, let the owner take t hours to cover the distance. Thief will taken t + 0.5 hours to do the same.
Now, 45(t+0.5) = 50t
45t + 22.5 = 50t
22.5 = 5t
t = 4.5 hours.
hence, the owner will overtake thief after 4.5 hours i..e 2pm +4.5 hours = 6.30 pm
