let the distance be d KM
so when speed is 4 KM/hr Time T1= d/4 hr (10 min earler than schd time)
when speed is 3 KM/hr Time T2=d/3 hr (10 min late than schd time)
difference between T1 and T2 is 20 min = 20/60 hr
= 1/3 hr
T2-T1=1/3
d/3-d/4= 1/3
(4d-3d)/12= 1/3
d=12/3
d= 4 KM
so when speed is 4 KM/hr Time T1= d/4 hr (10 min earler than schd time)
