• B. $\frac{1}{3}$ hour
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$ hour
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$ hour

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{2}$ hour

Time taken by the Monika to walk to the playground $=\frac{1}{6}$ hour
Time taken by Monika to walk from playground to school $=\frac{1}{3}$hour
$\therefore$ Total time taken
$=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1+2}{6}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$ hour.
