A) The horizontal axis (or the X axis) indicates the time. The vertical axis (or the Y axis) indicates the distance from the town A to B. The dotted line shows the journey of cyclist II.

∴ from the given graph, cyclist II rest at 8.45 AM to 9.00AM for 15 minutes

B) Cyclist II cycling faster after the rest because he covers the distance of 20km (from 10km to 30km) in 1hr (from 9 AM to 10 AM)

C) The two cyclists meet at 9.00AM shows in the graph

D) Cyclist II travelled from the town B to A, he travelled 20Km when he met cyclist I

E) In the given graph, the cyclist I was far from 10KM to town B when cyclist II reached town A
