 Abstract. Let $A$ be a non-empty approximately compact convex subset, $B$ be a non-empty closed convex subset and $C$ be a non-empty convex subset of a normed linear space $E$. Given a multifunction $T_1\colon A \longrightarrow2^C$ with open fibres, a Kakutani factorizable multifunction $T_2\colon C\longrightarrow2^B$ and a single valued function $g\colon A \longrightarrow A$, best proximity pair theorems furnishing the sufficient conditions for the existence of an element $x_\circ\in A$ such that $$d(gx_{\circ }, T_2 T_1 x_{\circ }) = d(A, B)$$ are explored. As a consequence, a generalization of Ko and Tan's coincidence theorem is obtained.
