Alice drives 1/4 and remainder 3/4 is driven by Bob..
Difference =3/4 - 1/4=1/2
So 1/2 of total =40, thus total=2*40=80

Let T = total distance traveled
Alice drives the car for 1/4 of one trip, and Bob drives the car for the remainder of the same trip
In other words, Bob drove 3/4 the distance.
We can write: (1/4)T = distance Alice drove
And (3/4)T = distance Bob drove
The difference between the distance driven by Bob and the distance driven by Alice is 40 km.
We can write: (3/4)T - (1/4)T = 40
Multiply both sides by 4 to get: 3T - T = 160
Simplify: 2T = 160
Solve: T = 80
Answer: B
