Solution

Given: Two men start from A, B respectively, which are 42 km apart.
Speed of man at A = 4 km/hr.
Let the speed of man at B = x km/hr.
They meet after 6 hours.
Then, relative speed of the two men = Distancetime = 426 = 7 km/hr

Therefore, speed of man at B = Relative speed of the two - Speed of man at A = 7 - 4 = 3 km/hr
Hence, speed of the second man = 3 km/hr.
