Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jonh run with a speed of x km/hr

Let joseph run with a speed of y km/hr

According to the 1

st

condition,

x

2

y

2

=

60

2

x

1

y

1

=

60

1

xy

y−x

=

60

1

∴60(y−x)=xy ...........(1)

According to the 2

nd

condition,

y−2

2

x+2

2

=

60

2

y−2

1

x+2

1

=

60

1

(y−2)(x+2)

x+2−y+2

=

60

1

xy+2y−2x−4

x−y+4

=

60

1

∴60(4−y+x)=xy+2y−2x−4

∴240−60(y−x)=xy−4+2(y−x)

∴244=xy+2(y−x)+60(y−x)

∴244=xy+62(y−x)

∴244=60(y−x)+62(y−x) ........[from (1)]

∴244=122(y−x)

∴y−x=2 ............(2)

∴xy=60×2=120 .........(from 1)

Since, (y+x)

2

=(y−x)

2

+4xy

=2

2

+4×120=4+480=484

∴(y+x)

2

=(22)

2

∴y+x=22 ............(3)

Adding equation (2) and (3),

2y=24

∴y=12

Putting y=12 in equation (3),

12+x=22

∴x=10

Jonh ran with a speed of 10 km/hr and joseph ran with speed of 12 km/hr.
