A man can walk a distance in 4 hours and ride back in 3 hours. If he walks both ways, he takes 8 hours. How much time will he take if he rides both ways?

A. 7 hours

B. 6 hours

C. 8 hours

D. 5 hours

Answer: Option B

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)

Let walking time one way be W and riding time one way be R. W + R = 7 hours. Walking both ways: 2W = 8 => W = 4 hours. Substituting W in first equation: 4 + R = 7 => R = 3 hours. Riding both ways: 2R = 2 * 3 = 6 hours.
