A race horse starts chasing a wild pony 3 hours after the pony bolts the stable. The pony runs through the entire country of Alberton. Texas jumping over three streams and crossing four 10 meter roads. The race horse finally catches up with the pony after 5 hours by which time the sun had set and the moon was up in the sky for 4 hours. If the average speed of the race horse is 78 kmph. Then the average speed of the wild pony is --------------- kmph.

• distance covered by hourse= 78*5=390
  toatal time taken by hourse =3hr+5hr=8hr
  speed of pony = 390/8=48.75
  ans is 48.75

• Time taken by horse to catch up with the pony = 5 hours
  Speed of horse = 74 kmph
  So, distance travelled by the horse = 5*74 = 370 km
  Time taken by the pony = 5+2 = 7 hours
  So, speed of the pony = 370/7 = 52.86 kmph
