In 1 minute, I walk = 1/30

In 1 minute, My brother walk = 1/40

In T minutes, I walk = T*1/30

My brother walk 8 minute before = T + 8

In 1 minute, My brother walk = (T + 8)*1/40

When these two distances are same, then I will catch him.

T*(1/30) = (T + 8)*(1/40)

30*(T + 8) = 40*T

30*T + 240 = 40*T

240 = 10*T

T = 24 minutes

hence, I will catch him in 24 minutes.

Take 5 instead of 8.

My brother walk 5 minute before = T + 5

In 1 minute, My brother walk = (T + 5)*1/40

When these two distances are same, then I will catch him.

T*(1/30) = (T + 5)*(1/40)

30*(T + 5) = 40*T

30*T + 150 = 40*T

150 = 10*T

T = 15 minutes

Hence, I will catch him in 15 minutes.
