Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4 hrs 24 minutes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_b:V_c = 26:4\) \(V_{upstream} = (26-4)k = 22k\) \(V_{downstream} = (26+4)k = 30k\) \(Distance = V_{upstream} \times T_{upstream} = 22k \times 6 = 132k\) \(T_{return} = \frac{Distance}{V_{downstream}} = \frac{132k}{30k} = \frac{132}{30} = 4.4 \text{ hrs}\)…
