Given: 60km is the total distance,

Fastest speed is 20km/hr

What is the time he needed to cover the distance faster?

20km = 1 hr

60km = ? . . . . (60km x 1hr) / 20km = 3hrs.

Rememeber we are told that he saved 1 hr. So the usual time he will use to cover the 60 kms is 4 hrs ( 1hr saved + 3 hrs used). Now calculate speed. 4 hrs is used to cover 60km . . . 60/4 is 15. 15km/hr is the usual speed.
