• B. Team A
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Team B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Team B

$\text{Time taken by the members of two}$ $\text{teams is given in the table.}$

$\text{We have to find which team has}$ $\text{solved the puzzle in less time.}$

$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{hours to minutes.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 hour =}$ $\text{60 minutes}$


$\text{Now, let's follow the conversion rule}$ $\text{and calculate the total time taken}$ $\text{by Team A.}$

$\text{Time taken by Rehan = 3 hrs 12 min}$
$\text{Time taken by Myra = 1 hr 15 min}$
$\text{Time taken by Henry = 30 min}$


$\text{Now let's add all the timings.}$


$\text{Now, let's calculate the total time}$ $\text{taken by Team B.}$

$\text{Time taken by Sid = 1 hr 22 min}$
$\text{Time taken by John = 2 hrs 13 min}$
$\text{Time taken by Liza = 54 min}$


$\text{Now let's add all the timings.}$


$\text{We can clearly see that Team B}$ $\text{has taken the less time as compared}$ $\text{to Team A.}$
