Bhumika takes a total of 8 hours 20 minutes in walking distance and cycling back to same place where she started. She could walk both ways in 12 hours 15 minutes. The time taken by her to cycle both ways is:

4 hours 25 min
4 hours 35 min
4 hours 45 min
4 hours 15 min

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (A) 4 hours 25 min

Explanation

Walking both ways takes 12 h 15 min, so one way on foot = 6 h 7.5 min. Cycling one way = 8 h 20 min − 6 h 7.5 min = 2 h 12.5 min, so cycling both ways = 4 h 25 min.
