Explanation:

Given

Cyclist 1:

[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]

[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]

[tex]Direction = East[/tex]

Cyclist 2:

[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]

[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]

[tex]Direction = West[/tex]

The question requires options. Since none is given,  I'll answer on a general term.

First, calculate the speed of both cyclists

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Cyclist 1:

[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]

[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{40km}{2hr}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]

Cyclist 2:

[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]

[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{10km}{0.5hr}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]

The following can be deduced from above:

  • Both cyclists travel at the same speed of 20km/hr
  • Both cyclists travel in opposite directions
