Detailed Solution

Lets assume the students needs time 't' to reach at correct time

In the first case,

$\frac{S}{2} = t + \frac{3}{60}$ ...(1)

in the second case,

$\frac{S}{3} = t - \frac{3}{60}$ ...(2)

From (1) and (2)

$\frac{S}{2} - \frac{S}{3} = \frac{6}{60}$

$\frac{S}{6} = \frac{6}{60} \Rightarrow S = 0.6 km$
