  • Options

  • B. 4 hours 30 minutes
  • C. 4 hours 45 minutes
  • D. 5 hours

  • Correct Answer
  • 4 hours 45 minutes 

    Explanation

    Time taken in walking both ways = 7 hours 45 minutes                     --------(i)

    Time taken in walking one way and riding back= 6 hours 15 minutes-------(ii)

    By equation (ii)*2 -(i), we have

    Time taken to man ride both ways, = 12 hours 30 minutes - 7 hours 45 minutes

                                                            = 4 hours 45 minutes
