Speed of first cyclist = X km/hr
speed of other cyclist = (X - 10) km/hr
Distance covered by first cyclist after 3 hours = 3X km
Distance covered by other cyclist after 3 hours = 3(X - 10) km
= (3X - 30) km
ATQ,
3X + 3X - 30 + 20 = 230
6X -10 = 230
6X = 230 + 10
6X = 240
X = 240/6
X = 40
Speed of first cyclist = X
= 40 km
Speed of other cyclist = X - 10
= 40 - 10
= 30 km
