Two bikers are cycling from the Greater Toronto Area to Kingston. The first biker, Merckx, started 200 kilometers (KMs) away from Kingston. The second, Froome started 20KM behind Merckx. Both cyclists start out slowly, but Merckx suffers a bike fault delaying them from starting for 11 hours and giving Froome a head start. Assuming the bikers match the below speed representing the maximum speeds of each biker from the time they begin moving, which biker will reach Kingston first and when? Which of the following answer is correct: a) Merckx in 36.2 hours b) Merckx in 31.2 hours  c) Froome in 38.7 hours d) Froome in 35.6 hours
