      B 17/3h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25/2h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 27/4h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Time required travelled from P to R = 16h +40min PQ=QR           (Q is mid-point) Required time to travel PQ= (16h 40min)/2 =8h 20min Total required time from P to Q +Q to P =12 h 8h20min+Qto P = 12h Q to P = 12h-8h20min=3hour 40min ATQ- QP = RP/2 R to P =2 ×QP Required time R to P = 2×3h 40min =7h 20min =22/3 hours.
