Given

The time taken by Anup to reach Place B = 8.5 hours

Anuj is driving at 70 km/h

Anup is driving at 80 km/h

Formula used

Speed = Distance/time

Calculation

Total halt time of Anuj = 3 × 10 = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Actual driving time of Anuj = 8.5 - 0.5 = 8 hours

Total distance = 8 × 70 = 560 km.

Total halt time of Anup = 4 × 15 = 60minutes = 1 hours 

The time taken by Anup to reach Place B = 560 / 80 

= 7 hours

Total time = 7 + 1 = 8 hours.

The answer is 8 hours.
