Yes, the correct answer is 26 and 2/3 km.

explanation:

the difference of time between the two person is 4 hours.

since, t=d/s

x/4-x/10 = 4

by simplifying we get 26 and 2/3 km as asnwer.

ans: 26.66km

expln:we have, s=vt.......(s=distance)

    since both meet at same point,both travells same distance=s km

now,equating.....10(t+4)=4t------> t=20/3

                 sub.t=20/3  in  s=4t--------->  s=26.66km.

A guy has already covered 16 Kms in 4 hrs time. Suppose the cyclist will meet him after x km.

The cyclist will start with total dist. of 16+x with 10 km/h and the guy with x km with a speed of 4 km/h.

They will meet at 26.6 km.
