Answer 2

Answer:

The time taken for him to walk both ways is 8 hours 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Alok walks to a viewpoint and returns to the starting point by his car and thus takes a total time of 6 hrs 45 min. He would have gained 2 hrs by driving both ways.

To find : How long would it have taken for him to walk both ways?

Solution :

Alok walks to a viewpoint and returns to the starting point by his car and thus takes a total time of 6 hrs 45 min.

He would have gained 2 hrs by driving both ways.

Total time taken to cover both ways is 6 hrs 45 minutes subtract 2 hours.

i.e. 6.45-2=4.45 or 4 hours 45 minutes.

The time taken to cover one way driving is 4 hours 45 minutes divided by 2.

$\frac{4.45}{2}= 2.225$ or 2 hours 22.5 minutes

The time taken by walking to a viewpoint is

i.e. 6.45-2.225=4.225 or 4 hours 22.5 minutes.

Now, The time taken for him to walk both ways is

i.e. 2(4.225)=8.45 or 8 hours 45 minutes.

Therefore, The time taken for him to walk both ways is 8 hours 45 minutes.
