Answer:

The owner will overtake the thief at 4 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

⇉Distance covered by the thief in (2p.m.-1:30p.m)=1/2

⇉Hr at speed of 40km/hr

$40 \times \frac{1}{2} = 20kms$

⇉Their relative speed in same direction....

⇉(50-40)=10 km/hr

⇉20km,is the distance that has to be covered by the owner to catch theif....

⇉Required Time..

$\frac{20km}{10km \: hr} = 2hours$
