\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "speed of pony = x kmph
\n" ); document.write( "distance run by pony in 3hours = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "speed of horse = 35 kmph
\n" ); document.write( "difference = 35-x
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "time taken to catch the pony = 4 hours
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( " catch up time = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "4=3x/(35-x)
\n" ); document.write( "4(35-x)= 3x
\n" ); document.write( "140-4x=3x
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 140
\n" ); document.write( "/7
\n" ); document.write( "x= 20 kmph. speed of pony
