let the velocity of truck be v
velocity of cars= 30 kmph
thus relative velocity of truck with that of cars will be= v+30
distance between the cars = 5 km
time taken by truck to cover that up = 4 min = 1/15 hr
thus velocity of truck with respect to that of cars will be=
5/(1/15) = 75 = v+30
thus v = 45 mph
