    King Arthur and Sir Lancelot are running a horse race. Sir Lancelot says, ``Since Your Majesty's speed is only 23\frac{2}{3} of mine, I will give Your Majesty a handicap of 100100 metres, and then I would catch up within the length of the race track. Alternatively, if Your Majesty reduced speed by 2ms2 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}} and I reduced mine by 5ms5 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}, but I gave Your Majesty a 5050 metre handicap only, I would also be able to catch up within the length of the track. The sum of the two time intervals required to catch up is exactly 7575 seconds.'' Determine the speeds of King Arthur and of Sir Lancelot.
