Distance covered in first quarter of an hour i.e in 1/4 hour=45*(1/4) km
Remaining distance=24-(45/4)=51/4
Remaining time=1/2-1/4=1/4 hour
So,required speed=(51/4)/(1/4)=51 km/hr (Ans)

distance between A and B is 24 km
time should be taken 30mins means half an hour
so distance will be 45/4 at 45km/hr time taken is 15mins
now distance left= 51/4km
time should be taken 30 -15 =15mins or 1/4hr
speed will be (51/4)/(1/4) =51km/hr
