Correct Answer: 8 hours
Solution : Given: Time spent by Anuj on halts = (10 × 3 = 30) minutes = 0.5 hours Anuj's speed = 70 km/hr. He travels for 8.5 – 0.5 = 8 hours $\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ So, place B's distance from A = 70 × 8 = 560 km Time spent by Anup on halts = (15 × 4 = 60) mins = 1 hour Anup's speed = 80 km/hr Time taken to travel 560 km = $\frac{560}{80}$ = 7 hours $\therefore$ The total time Anup takes is 7 + 1 = 8 hours Hence, the correct answer is 8 hours.
