Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of second vechicle in 2 hours is 72

Therefore speed in one hour is 72÷2 is 36km

The speed of second vechicle is 36km per hour

Let speed of first vechicle be x

The ratio is 2/3

Therefore 2/3=x/72

x=( 2×72) ÷3

x= 144÷3

= 48 km/hr

The speed of first vechicle is 48 km/ hr
