• pony take 7 hours and horse take 4 hours...then Distance chased by them is 35*4.so speed of pony is (35*4)/7=20kmph.

• speed of pony = x kmph
  distance run by pony in 2hours = 2x
  speed of horse = 81 kmph
  difference = 81-x
  ..
  time taken to catch the pony = 3 hours
  catch up time = d/r
  3=2x/(81-x)
  3(81-x)= 2x
  140-4x=3x
  5x = 243
  x= 48.6 kmph. speed of pony
