At 14 25, Ryan left Town N for Town P, driving at a speed of 99 km/h. At 16 25, Julian also left Town N for Town P driving at a certain speed. Both of them did not change their speed throughout the journey. At 19 25, both of them passed a boutique that was 297 km away from Town P. How many minutes earlier did Julian reach Town P than Ryan?

Distance that Ryan travelled
= 5 x 99
= 495 km

Distance between Town N and Town P
= 495 + 297
= 792 km

Since Julian passed the boutique at the same time as Ryan, it means that Julian travelled 495 km in 3 hours.

Julian's speed during the journey
= 495 ÷ 3
= 165 km/h

Duration that Julian took to reach Town P after passing the boutique
= 297 ÷ 165
= 1.8 h

Duration that Ryan took to reach Town P after passing the boutique
= 297 ÷ 99
= 3 h

Difference between the time they took to reach Town P
= 3 - 1.8
= 1.2 h

1 h = 60 min
1.2 h = 1.2 x 60 = 72 min

Julian reached Town P 72 minutes earlier than Ryan.

Answer(s): 72 min
