The speed of Sali is 18.75 km/hr.
Given,
Total distance travelled by Jane and Sali =63 km.
The total time is taken by Jane=3.5 hours.
Sali started to cycle 4 minutes after Jane started to cycle [tex]=\frac{4}{60}=\frac{1}{15}[/tex] hours.
What is the formula to find speed?
The formula to find speed is [tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time} \ km/hr[/tex].
The speed of Jane[tex]=\frac{63}{3.5}=18 \ km/hr[/tex].
Let the speed of Sali be [tex]x \ km/hr[/tex].
Sali caught up with Jane when they had both cycled 30 km.
Thus, [tex]\frac{30}{18}-\frac{30}{x}=\frac{1}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \ \frac{30x-540}{18x} =\frac{1}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \ 15(30x-540)=18x[/tex]
[tex]\implies \ 5(30x-540)=6x[/tex]
[tex]\implies \ 150x-2700=6x[/tex]
[tex]\implies \ 144x=2700\implies \ x=18.75[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of Sali is 18.75 km/hr.
