1 quart = 0.25 gallons
Therefore 1,30,000 quarts = 32,500 gallons
To convert hours into minutes, multiply by 60
Time taken by Cement Truck 1 for 600 gallons = 2.1 hours * 60 = 126 minutes
Therefore Time taken to fill 32500 gallons = (32500 * 126) / 600 = 6825 minutes
Time taken by Cement Truck 2 for 600 gallons = 2.9 hours * 60 = 174 minutes
Therefore Time taken to fill 32500 gallons = (32500 * 174) / 600 = 9425 minutes
Excess time = 9425 - 6825 = 2600 minutes

Difficult to know 1 gallon is 4 quarts if you dont have net and you are not from the US so it is a bad question.
Math is simple
130,000/(600*4)*((2.9-2.1)*60)
=2600
