72 km ------------ 3/2 hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First part -----36 km----------- 54 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "time = 36/54 = 2/3 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Balance time to reach on time = 3/2-2/3= 5/6 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Balance distance = 72-36 = 36 km\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed = distance/time
\n" ); document.write( "speed = 36/(5/6)
\n" ); document.write( "speed = 36* 6/5
\n" ); document.write( "speed = 43.2 km/h second part\r
