Answer 1

The correct option is A Manu

Time at which Zoya leaves for school is 8:10 AM.
Time taken by Zoya to walk to school is 25 minutes.
⇒ Zoya reaches school at 8:35 AM.

Time at which Manu leaves for school is 8:15 AM.
Time taken by Manu to walk to school is 15 minutes.
⇒ Manu reaches school at 8:30 AM.

∴ Manu reaches school before Zoya.
