    A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance travelled by Ola on Tuesday = (18/100) × 5400 = 972 km Speed of Ola on Tuesday = 48.6 km/hour Time taken to cover 486 km = 486/48.6 = 10 hours Speed of Ola after breakdown = 5/9 × 48.6 = 27 km/hr So, Time required = 486/27 = 18 hours Total Time taken= 10 + 18 = 28 hours Actual time without breakdown = 972/48.6 = 20 hours Additional time = 28 – 20 = 8 hours
