Hi Bunuel, I know that its not given in the question but can we not assume of a stoppage during their journeys which would increase the overall time? And since we have no information of the stoppage, even combining the two statements would not be sufficient?
No, we cannot assume any stoppage because the question states that both were biking at constant speed. That means they were moving continuously without interruption.

I did not quite understand the solution. Could you please explain why the two cyclists passing each other at 7:45am implies that Emma took 45 minutes to reach the meeting point? Thanks

Because both started at 7:00 am, and they met at 7:45 am. So Emma had been riding for 45 minutes when they met, that’s the time it took her to reach the meeting point.
