Answer:

A. Biker 1 has more mass than Biker 2

Explanation:

From the given problem;

    Both bikers are moving in the same direction;

     Both bikers have the same acceleration

     Net force on biker 1 is greater than the net force on biker 2

Now, the mass of the bikers  = ?

From Newton's second law of motion, the force on a body is a product of its mass and acceleration;

     Force  = mass x acceleration

Since both Bikers are moving with the same acceleration, this quantity is constant.

So, the mass of Biker 1 must be greater than mass of Biker 2 to attain this constant acceleration.
