Let t= travel time of bicycle
then (t+1)= Walking time
Distance = Speed × Time
This is a Pythagoras problem

Where a=8t, bicycle distance
b=4(t+1), Walking distance
c=20, distance apart in t hrs from 8 a.m.
∴(8t)

+[4(t+1)]

=(20)

+(12−10)t−24=0

−10t+12t−24=0
5t(t−2)+12(t−2)=0
(t−2)(5t+12)=0
t=2
and t=−
15
12
which is not possible.
Positive solution t=2 hrs.
At 10 a.m. they will be 20 km apart.
