To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have two cyclists moving towards each other at a speed of 10 km/hr each, and they are initially 20 km apart. A fly starts from one cyclist and flies back and forth between the two cyclists until they meet. ### Step 2: Calculate the relative speed of the cyclists Since both cyclists are moving towards each other, we can calculate their relative speed by adding their speeds: - Speed of cyclist 1 (v1) = 10 km/hr ...
