Napoleon · Answer 1

For this item, after two hours, he is able to cover 0.5 of the distance and after four hours, he is able to 0.67 of the distance. The fraction of the distance he is able to cover after 3 hours should be greater than 0.5 but lesser than 0.67. Thus, the answer to this item is letter B which is equal to 0.6.
