Let distance be x km and original time be t hr, when he travels at constant speed, say s kmph.
Clearly, x = st.
Now, x=30(t-1) and x=20(t+1). Solving these to simultaneous linear eqns, we get x=120 km and t=5 hr. So, distance between city and go-down=120km. To reach exactly at 11 o'clock, he must travel at speed s=x/t = 120/5 = 24 kmph

(x/20)-(x/30)=2
x=120km

to reach at 11 o'clock

5hrs-->120km
so speed needed :120/5=24kmph
