The buses will meet up at 12:19pm.
You can see that upto 12pm, the first bus is able to cover 100 km and the second bus is able to cover 96 km.
Till 12:15 minutes, the first bus would have covered 105 km while the second bus would have covered 104 km.
Since the 1st bus is going at 20kmph, this means in 1 minute it covers 0.33km (20/60). Similarly, in one minute, the 2nd bus covers 0.53km (32/60)
So, in the next 5 minutes, 1st bus will cover 1.66km while the second bus will cover 2.66km.
Hence the time the two buses will meet is 12:20pm.
