When Car B Starts at 10:30, Car A has already covered 20 Miles(Speed is 40 Miles per hour).
=> The gap between the two is 20 miles.
Thus, Car A and Car B will meet after time = Gap/Difference in speeds ( Difference is taken as both are travelling in the same direction)
=> Time = 20/50-40=20/10=2 Hours.
Thus, both the cars will meet after 2 hours. Now , in order to make a gap of another 40 miles, another period of time required = 40/50-10=4 hours.
Thus , a total of 2+4=6 hours is required for making Car B 40 miles ahead of Car A.
Thus, 10:30 a.m. + 6 hours = 4:30 p.m.

Backsolved the question.
Let's check option C.
At 4:30, car B is travelling for 6 hrs. and hence will travel a distance of 6*50= 300 miles
At 4:30 car A is travelling for 6.5 hrs, and will travel a distance of 6.5*40= 260 miles
Hence at 4:30 car A will be 300-260=40 miles ahead of car B
C is the answer
