Let Suresh's speed = xkm/h

Piyush's speed = (x-34)km/h

Since they move in opposite directions, the total distance covered per hour = the sum of their speeds = x + (x-34) = (2x - 34)km/h

Distance = Speed x Time = (2x-34) x 6 = 366

2x-34 = 366/6 = 61
2x = 61+34 = 95
x = 47.5

Piyushe's speed = 47.5 - 34 = 13.5 km/h
