Correct Answer: 2 hours


Solution : Let's denote the distance covered by the man as D.
The formula to calculate distance is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Walking at a speed of 8 km/hr for 2 hours and 30 minutes i.e. 2.5 hours:
⇒ D = 8 × 2.5 = 20 km
Walking at a speed of 10 km/hr for 20 km
Time taken = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
⇒ Time = $\frac{20}{10}$ = 2 hours
Hence, the correct answer is 2 hours.
