    Let the time taken by Partha to cover 60 km be x hours.
    Narayan will cover 60 km in x-4 hours. 

    Speed of Partha = $$frac{60}{x}$$
    Speed of Narayan = $$frac{60}{x-4}$$

    Partha reaches the mid-point of A and B two hours before Narayan reaches B.

    => $$dfrac{30}{frac{60}{x}} + 2 = dfrac{60}{frac{60}{(x-4)}}$$

    $$frac{x}{2} + 2 = x-4$$
    $$frac{x+4}{2}=x-4$$
    $$x+4=2x-8$$
    $$x=12$$

    Partha will take 12 hours to cross 60 km.
    => Speed of Partha = $$frac{60}{12}=5$$ Kmph.
    Therefore, option D is the right answer.
