A starts walking at 4 kmph and 4 hours after his start B starts cycling at 10 kmph. After how much distance will B catch up with A?

  • A.26.2 km
  • B.25.7 km
  • C.23.2 km
  • D.26.67 km

Answer: D

Distance travelled by each of them is to be made equal.

=> Distance travelled walking = Distance covered cycling.

Let after 4 hours of walking, A walk for x hours more before B catches up with him.

=> Distance = Speed * Time

(4+x)4 = 10x

x = 8/3

Therefore, It takes B 8/3 hours to catch up with A. Distance: 8/3 x 10 = 80/3 km = 26.67
