Given :
Total distance = d = 30 km
Ajay takes 2 hours more than sameer
Ajay doubles his speed,then he would take 1hr less than sameer
To Find :
The speed of Ajay
Solution :
Let The speed of Sameer = s km/h
The speed of Ajay = a km/h
Let the time taken by Sameer = x hours
Let The time taken by Ajay = y hours
Statement I
∵ Time taken by Ajay = 2 + time taken by Samer
i.e y = 2 + x
∵ speed =
For Ajay
a =
Or, a = .........1
For Sameer
s =
Statement II
Or, 2 a = .........2
Solving eq 1 and eq 2
i.e 2 × =
or, =
Or, 2 ( x - 1 ) = 2 + x
Or, 2 x - 2 = 2 + x
Or, 2 x - x = 2 + 2
Or, x = 4 hours
i,e Time taken by Sameer = x = 4 hours
Now, Put the value of x into eq 2
So, 2 a =
Or, 2 a =
∴ 2 a = 10
Or, a = = 5 km/h
i.e Speed of Ajay = a = 5 km/h

To Find :
The speed of Ajay
Solution :
Let The speed of Sameer = s km/h
The speed of Ajay = a km/h
Let the time taken by Sameer = x hours
Let The time taken by Ajay = y hours
Statement I
∵ Time taken by Ajay = 2 + time taken by Samer
i.e y = 2 + x
∵ speed =![\dfrac{distance}{time} \dfrac{distance}{time}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7Bdistance%7D%7Btime%7D)
For Ajay
a =![\dfrac{30}{y} \dfrac{30}{y}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7By%7D)
Or, a =
.........1
For Sameer
s =![\dfrac{30}{x} \dfrac{30}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7Bx%7D)
Statement II
Ajay doubles his speed,then he would take 1hr less than sameer
For Ajay
a =![\dfrac{30}{y} \dfrac{30}{y}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7By%7D)
Or, 2 a =
.........2
For Sameer
s =![\dfrac{30}{x} \dfrac{30}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7Bx%7D)
Solving eq 1 and eq 2
i.e 2 ×
=
or,
=
Or, 2 ( x - 1 ) = 2 + x
Or, 2 x - 2 = 2 + x
Or, 2 x - x = 2 + 2
Or, x = 4 hours
i,e Time taken by Sameer = x = 4 hours
Now, Put the value of x into eq 2
So, 2 a =
Or, 2 a =![\dfrac{30}{4-1} \dfrac{30}{4-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B4-1%7D)
Or, 2 a =![\dfrac{30}{3} \dfrac{30}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B3%7D)
∴ 2 a = 10
Or, a =
= 5 km/h
i.e Speed of Ajay = a = 5 km/h
Hence, The Speed of Ajay in covering 30 km distance is 5 km/h Answer
