In a space of 20 seconds the school bus covered a distance  of d and the ambulance covered a distance of 40+d+60=100+d.    Meanwhile speed of ambulance=((100+d)/(20))=30×(5/(18)) (in ms^(−1) )  ⇒100+d=((25×20)/3) ⇒d=((500)/3)−100=((200)/3) m  ∴ Speed of bus =(d/(20))=((200)/(3×20))=((10)/3) ms^(−1) =12km/h
