Solution

The correct option is B 4 h
Since A to C is double the distance of A to B, it is evident that the time taken for A to C and back would be double the time taken from A to B and back (i.e. double of 6.5 hours = 13 hours). Since going from A to C takes 9 hours, coming back from C to A would take 4 hours (Since 9 + 4 = 13).
