Let the speed of cars be a and b and the distance =d
Minimum time taken by 1st car = 6 hours,
For maximum difference in time taken by both of them, car 1 has to start at 10:00 AM and car 2 has to start at 11:00 AM.
Hence, car 2 will take 5 hours.
Hence a= and b =
Hence the speed of car 2 will exceed the speed of car 1 by = = 20
