Solution

The correct option is A 5
Distance walked by the man = Speed $\times$ Time = 5 km/hr $\times$ 20 min
Given that the man runs back the same distance. Let 't' be the time taken by the man. Then,
5 km/hr $\times$ 20 min = 20 km/hr $\times$ t
Therefore, $t = \frac{5 \times 20}{20}$ = 5 minutes
