We can assume that B leaves Los Angeles not at noon but at 2pm Eastern Time, so 5 hours later than A leaves New York.
In 5 hours A covers 5*40=200 miles. So, A and B together should cover 3,000-200=2,800 miles.
Combined rate = 40 + 60 = 100 miles per hour.
To cover 2,800 miles they'll need 2,800/100=28 hours.
2pm Eastern Time on Monday + 28 hours = 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
