the answer is 20 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Cyclist A is travelling at 10 kmph.
Cyclist B is travelling at 15 kmph.
Obviously, Cyclist A will take a longer time than Cyclist B to cover the same distance.
Let the distance covered by A and B be d km.
Time taken by B = 1 km/15 kmph = 4 min/km. So he takes 4d minutes, total.
Time taken by A = 1 km/10 kmph = 6 min/km. So he takes 6d minutes, total.
Now 6d-4d = 2d = 40 minutes, or d = 20 km.
