Acceleration of car , a_c=4\ ms^{-2}

And, Acceleration of bus , a_b=2\ ms^{-2}

Now,

Initial gap between the bus and car is:

S_{cb}=200\ m

Acceleration of car with respect to bus is:

a_{cb}=\ a_c-a_b=\ 2\ ms^{-2}

Initial velocity:

u_{cb}=0\ and\ t=?

Thus, 

S_{cb}=u_{cb}\times t\ +\frac{1}{2}a_{cb}\ t^2

Or, 200=0\times t\ +\frac{1}{2}\times2\times t^2

Or, t^2=200

I.e. t=10\sqrt2\ s
