Cyclist M leaves point P at 12 noon and travels at constant velocity [#permalink]
Bunuel wrote:
Cyclist M leaves point P at 12 noon and travels at constant velocity in a straight path. Cyclist N leaves point P at 2 PM, travels the same path at a constant velocity, and overtakes M at 4 PM. What was the average speed of N?

(1) The velocity of Cyclist M was 20 miles per hour.
(2) When Cyclist N overtook Cyclist M, both had traveled 60 miles.

@moderators, Bunuel:
Can someone explain this question to me.
From 1. the avg speed comes to be 20 miles/hr
From 2. the avg speed comes to 30 miles/hr.

Although, the answer comes to D, Isn't the fact that two statements give different answers, not allowed in GMAT questions ?
