Distance travelled by both x and y = 150 km.

Speed of y = 60km per hour, Time = \(\frac{dist.}{Speed}\)

Time spent by y = \(\frac{150}{60}\)

= 2\(\frac{3}{6}\)hrs

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) hrs

if x arrived at p 25 minutes earlier than y, then time spent by x = 2 hour 5 mins

= 125 mins

x average speed = \(\frac{150}{125}\) x \(\frac{60}{1}\)

= \(\frac{9000}{125}\)

= 72 km/hr
