    D 5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that  as we know that speed is inversely proportional to time so with 4/5 of usual speed he will take 5/4 of usual time. Now, (5/4) x usual time - usual time = 3 Usual time =  (5−4)/4 = 3 Usual time = 3 x 4 = 12 hrs
