Time taken by truck to travel 1km = 1/40 hrs = 60/40 mins = 1.5 mins
Time taken by boy to travel 1km = 1/3 hrs = 60/3 mins = 20 mins
Therefore, the boy will reach the truck in 20-1.5 = 18.5 mins [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]

In my opinion the solution provided by Ashujain is good and here is mine
First of all,
The Time taken by truck to travel a km = 1/40 hrs = 60/40 mins = 1.5 mins
Time taken by the boy to travel 1km = 1/3 hrs = 60/3 mins = 20 mins
Therefore, the boy will reach the truck in 20 - 1.5 = 18.5 mins
This is the simplest method I think.
