At 06 25, Nicole left Town K and cycled towards Town L. Linda left Town K and cycled towards Town L at 06 45. Linda's cycling speed was 3 km/h faster than Nicole. At 10 25, Linda caught up with Nicole. Find the cycling speed of each cyclist.

1. Nicole
2. Linda

(a)
Duration that Linda cycled from 06 45 to 10 25
= 3⁴⁰₆₀
= 3²₃ h

Distance that Linda cycled more than Nicole
= 3²₃ x 3
= 11 km

However, since Nicole left 20 minutes earlier than Linda and Linda caught up with Nicole, it means that Nicole has cycled 11 km in 20 min.

1 h = 60 min 
20 min = 20 ÷ 60 = ¹₃ h

Nicole's cycling speed
= 11 ÷ ¹₃
= 11 x ³₁
= 33 km/h

(b)
Linda's cycling speed
= 33 + 3
= 36 km/h

Answer(s): (a) 33 km/h ; (b) 36 km/h
