While covering distance of 30 km. Ajeet takes 2 hours more than Amit. If Ajeet doubles his speed, he would take 1 hour less than Amit. Find their speeds of walking.
Speed = distance/time
Let the speed of Ajeet be ‘a’ and speed of Amit be ‘b’.
Given, while covering distance of 30 km. Ajeet takes 2 hours more than Amit. If Ajeet doubles his speed, he would take 1 hour less than Amit.
Also,
Adding the two equations
⇒ 30/a - 15/a = 3
⇒ a = 5 km/hr
Thus, 30/5 – 30/b = 2
⇒ b = 7.5 km/hr
