  2. B.

    2 hours

  3. C.

    3 hours 20 min

  4. D.

    4 hours 40 min

Answer

C

Explanation

Let WW be time taken to walk one way and RR be time taken to ride one way. W+R=4 hrs 20 min=260 minsW + R = 4\text{ hrs } 20\text{ min} = 260\text{ mins} Walking both ways takes 1 hour more = 5 hrs 20 min=320 mins5\text{ hrs } 20\text{ min} = 320\text{ mins}. 2W=320  ⟹  W=160 mins2W = 320 \implies W = 160\text{ mins}

Thus, R=260−160=100 minsR = 260 - 160 = 100\text{ mins}. Riding both ways =2R=200 mins=3 hours 20 min= 2R = 200\text{ mins} = 3\text{ hours } 20\text{ min}.
