Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the total distance covered by both cyclists.

Step 1: Convert the time they met into hours. 1 hour and 12 minutes is 1.2 hours.

Step 2: Calculate the distance covered by each cyclist and then add them together.

The distance covered by cyclist A is speed * time = 21 km/hr * 1.2 hr = 25.2 km.

The distance covered by cyclist B is speed * time = 24 km/hr * 1.2 hr = 28.8 km.

Step 3: Add the distances covered by both cyclists to get the total distance.

25.2 km + 28.8 km = 54 km.

So, the correct answer is 54 km.
