Solution

The correct option is A 19
Walk $+$ ride $= 37$ minutes..........(i)
walk $+$ walk $= 55$ minutes
$2 \times$ walk $= 55$ minutes
walk $= \frac{55}{2} = 27.5$ minutes......(ii)
Putting eq (ii) in eq (i)
$27.5 +$ ride $= 37$
Ride back $= 37 - 27.5 = 9.5$
$2 \times$ ride $= 9.5 \times 2 = 19$ minutes.
