let distance from daisy to rose be x
from given information we can form an eqn
(x+2)/10 + 3 = x/6

solve for x = 48
daisy to rose distance is 50 so speed will be 50/10 ; 5
option B

From Daisy to Rose : D + 2 = 10R => D = 10R - 2
From Rose to Poppy: D = 6 ( R + 3 )

6 ( R + 3 ) = 10R - 2
6R + 18 = 10R - 2
18 + 2 = 10R - 6R
20 = 4R
5 = R

From daisy to rose:

average speed = r meters per second

time = 10 seconds

distance = speed × time

distance = 10r meters

From rose to poppy:

average speed = r + 3 meters per second

time = 6 seconds

distance = 6(r + 3) = 6r + 18 meters

Since the distance from daisy to rose is 2 meters longer than the distance from rose to poppy, we can make the following equation:

10r = (6r + 18) + 2

4r = 20

r = 5 meters per second
