the biker goes 20-4 = 16mi/hr faster, so he is gaining 16mi on the biker per hour...

16 mi/hr*1 hr/60mins*5 mins = 16/12 mi to catch up = 4/3 mi

4/3 mi / 4 mi/hr = 1/3 hr = 20 mins

hope that helps

answer is C.

A(Hiker)4m/h
--------------------------------
B(Cyclist)20m/h

For 5 minutes A would travel D=S*T= 1/3 (4/60*5)
For 5 minutes B would travel D=S*T= 5/3 (5/60*20)

Now after 5 miniutes Biker Stops

<-----1/3---->A<----4/3-->
--------------------------
<----------5/3----------->B

now A has to travel 4/3 inorder to reach B.
hence D=S*T = 4/3=4*T = T =1/3 which is 1/3*60=20 mins

Ahhh tricky! Forgot to account for the fact that the biker was only gaining 16 mph instead of 20. So my original answer was 25.

My method was exactly as same as m&m, no point in reposting.
