A man takes 5 hours 45 min in walking to a certain place and riding back. He would have gained 2 hours by riding both ways. The time he would take to walk both ways is_________?

A. 11 hrs
B. 8 hrs 45 min
C. 7 hrs 45 min
D. 9 hts 20 min

Given that time taken for riding both ways will be 2 hours lesser than
the time needed for waking one way and riding back
From this, we can understand that
time needed for riding one way = time needed for waking one way – 2 hours
Given that time taken in walking one way and riding back = 5 hours 45 min
Hence The time he would take to walk both ways = 5 hours 45 min + 2 hours = 7 hours 45 min
