Let the speed of escalator be x steps/sec
then total steps in escalator is 26 + 30x (since the
escalator covers 30x steps while the person covers 26 steps)
Similarly the in the second case the total no of steps is 34
+ 18x
solving both .. 26 + 30x = 34 + 18x
12x = 8 , x = 2/3 therefore steps is 26 + 30*2/3 = 46 steps
