      B 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      As we know, Speed = Distance/time Let us consider the actual time of journey be t hrs, As we know, the distance is same According to the question 15 (t + 2.5/60) = 20 (t-2.5/60) 3 (t + 1/24) = 4 (t-1/24) 3t+ 3/24 = 4t-4/24 Β  4t-3t=3/24 + 4/24 β‡’ t = 7/24 Distance = speed Γ— time Distance = 15 (7/24 + 2.5/60) = 15 (7/24 + 1/24) = 15 Γ— 8/24 = 5 km The distance between the hostel and the college is 5 km.
