Answer:

The answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 8-9 , Mr hare travel 40miles

For the time 9 onwards they travel concurrently,

Let x be the distance covered by both since they can only meet if they covered the sams distance,

x/50 = x/40 -1 ,where the 1 is the (8-9) 1 hr

x/40 - x/50 = 1

x = 200

Time take by Mr Hare = 200/ 40 = 5

from 8 add 5 hours will be 1

Note, i took this answer from an answer from another answer.
