• A. 6
• B. 16
• C. 9
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is B 16

Here, the || refers to modulus or absolute value of a number.
So, |$\frac{-16}{3}$| = $\frac{16}{3}$ units
Given, time taken for 1 unit = 3 minutes
$\therefore$ Time taken for $\frac{16}{3}$ units = $\frac{16}{3}$ x 3
= 16 minutes
