Let the man crosses the road in time t.
Distance to be covered, V.t = 2 m
=> t = 2/V s
Now velocity of the truck is 10 m/s.
So, distance travelled in time = 10.t
Now, for safe crossing, 10t\leq 4 m
\implies 10 \times \frac{2}{V} \leq 4
\implies V \geq 5 m/s
So, the minimum reqiured velocity of the man is 5 m/s.
