Problem Analysis

Two individuals, a cyclist and a motorcyclist, start simultaneously from two different villages and meet each other after 40 minutes. We need to determine the time each of them spent traveling before the meeting.

Solution

Let's assume that the cyclist's speed is x km/h and the motorcyclist's speed is y km/h. We can use the formula `distance = speed * time` to calculate the distance traveled by each person.

The distance traveled by the cyclist can be calculated as 40 minutes * (x km/h), and the distance traveled by the motorcyclist can be calculated as 40 minutes * (y km/h).

Since they meet each other, the sum of their distances traveled should be equal to the total distance between the two villages. However, we don't have the total distance between the villages, so we cannot calculate the exact values for x and y.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, without knowing the total distance between the villages or having additional information, we cannot determine the exact time each person spent traveling before the meeting.
