1) A and B both starts from same point and cover same distance before first meeting.
2) A can cover entire circular track in 10 min.

A and B could have been given car as poor guys ran for almost $$2\pi*r=2*7*22/7=44 miles each$$ that too if the speeds were same

Meeting second time mean they have covered 2 laps within themselves, so covered 88 miles
Sum of speed =88/(time taken)

1) A and B both starts from same point and cover same distance before first meeting.
This means the speeds are same but what is the speed not known

2) A can cover entire circular track in 10 min
Now this guy A is super human, as running 44miles in 10 minutes is just awesome. Speed =44/(10/60)=44*6=264 miles per hour.
But we don't know about B.
Insufficient

Combined..
So B also takes 10 minutes and he is also awesome with a speed of 264 miles per hour
Combined speed = 264*2=528 miles per hour .....

I am sure no good source would come up with such statistics
