Let Joseph Speed= x km/hr
Let Hamid Speed = y km/hr
In same direction, speed = (x+y)km/hr
Time taken to meet = 30/(x+y) = 1/3
x + y = 90 ------ (i)
In opposite direction, speed = (x-y)km/hr
Time taken for Hamid to catch up = 30/(x-y) = 3
x-y = 10 ---- (ii)
On Solving (i) and (ii) simultaneously
x + y = 90
x - y = 10
---------------
2x = 80
x = 40
Then:
x - y = 10
40 - y = 10
y = 50
Therefore;
Speed of Joseph = 40 km/hr
Speed of Hamid = 50 km/hr
Hope it helps!
