Explanation:
Given:
Total distance =60km
Average speed of entire journey=40km/h
Total Time taken =
total distance/average speed
=60/40
=3/2hr
Case :1
Let us CALCULATE time taken to cover first 30km
Speed=30km/h
Distance=30km
T=distance/ speed=30/30
=1hr -----equation ( 1)
Case: 2
Let us CALCULATE time taken to travel next 30km
Let speed be =Xkm/ h
X=30KM/t
t=30/X hours ----equation( 2)
Total time = add equation 1 and 2
=1 +30/X
Since total time =3/2 he
3/2 =1 +30/X
3/2-1 =30/X
1/2 =30/X
X=60km/h
Therefore bus should travel next 30km distance at a speed of 60 km/h
