Tom started his journey half an hour later and drove along the same raod. Both of them arrived in Mersing at the same time. What was Tom's speed?

2. At 6 am, Roy and Sally left Town A for Town B along the same road. When Sally arrived at Town B at 8 am, Roy had just completed 3/4 of the whole journey. Roy travelled at an average speed of 30km/h less than Sally.
