Hi Rowsan ,
total distance to be covered = 120 km
time to be taken = 2hrs
speed = distance/time
For 60 km
speed = 50km/h
time taken = d/s = 60/50 = 6/5hrs
so the remaining time and distance will decide the speed required
remaining distance = 120 - 60 = 60km
remaining time = 2 - 6/5 = 4/5 hrs
so required speed = d/t = 60 / (4/5) = 75km/h
hence he should drive at a speed of 75 km/h
Hope it helped.
Let me know if any doubts.
Cheers !!!
