first we know that b is faster than a 10 mile per hour.
note that at the station a is 12 minute in front of b which mean a is 8 mile in front of b when b reach the station.
then we just calculate how much time b need to catch up a
since b is faster than a 10 mile per hour, then we can use some math to cal time for b to catch up 8 mile
