So in this problem, at what rate are they approaching each other? If your stuck with that question, ask yourself this: if I ride my bike towards you at a rate of 10 mph and you ride yours towards me at 15 mph, at what rate are we approaching each other? At 25 mph. Given that, at what rate are the diplomats approaching each other?
hint: 25 = 15 + 10 Hence for the diplomats, the rate at which they approach each other is ... what?
