Solution

The correct option is D $10 : 25$ AM
Distance covered in $2$ hrs $15$ min, i.e.,
$2 \frac{1}{4}$ hrs
$= 80 \times \frac{9}{4} = 180$ km
Time taken to cover remaining distance
$= (\frac{350 - 180}{60}) = \frac{17}{6}$ hrs
$= 2 \frac{5}{6}$ hrs
$= 2$ hrs $50$ min
Total time taken $= (2 hrs 15 min + 2 hrs 50 min) = 5 hrs 5 min$
So, Arpita reached city $A$ at $10 : 25$ AM.
