Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3 hours

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v_c = 0.5 v_b \) \( v_{down} = v_b + v_c = 1.5 v_b \) \( 1.5 v_b = \frac{15 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ hr}} \Rightarrow v_b = 10 \text{ km/hr}, v_c = 5 \text{ km/hr} \) \( v_{up} = v_b - v_c = 10 - 5 = 5 \text{ km/hr} \)…
