A man takes 5hours 40 minutes in walking a certain distance and riding back on horse. If he ride both side on horse he would have saved 2 hrs 20 min. How much time does he take on walking both sides?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
1st Case : Going by walk + riding on horse
Time taken = 5:40 hrs.
2nd Case : Going & coming back on horse
Time 5:40 - 2:20 = 3:20 hrs.
Therefore, one side on horse takes = 1:40 hrs.
And, one side walk takes = 5:40 - 1:40 = 4:00 hrs.
Walking both sides will take = 2 × (4:00) hrs. = 8:00 hrs.
