While travelling from A to B, Raghav travels a quarter of the distance at 10 km/h, the next quarter of the distance at 15 km/h, the third quarter of the distance at 20 km/h, and the final quarter of the distance at 30 km/h. While travelling on exactly the same route, Manish travels for a quarter of the total time taken for his journey at 10 km/h, the next quarter of the total time taken for his journey at 15 km/h, the third quarter of the total time taken for his journey at 20 km/h, and the final quarter of the total time taken for his journey at 30 km/h. If the overall average speed of Raghav during his journey is given as y km/h, and that of Manish is given as z km/h, find the value of (z – y).
