The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
From Frankfurt to Boston: 6 p.m. Friday → reaches Boston next day (Saturday) at 6 p.m. local time.
Boston is 4 hr behind Frankfurt, so travel time = 24 hr - 4 hr = 20 hr actual.
Boston to India: Wait 2 hr, depart 8 p.m. Saturday Boston time, arrive India 1 a.m. Monday India time.
Boston is 2 hr behind India, so travel time = from 8 p.m. Boston Sat to 11 p.m. Sun India = 19 hr.
Total travel time Frankfurt → India = 20 hr + 2 hr + 19 hr = 41 hr.
Average speed given = 180 mph (including stoppage), so
Distance = Speed × Time = $180 \times 25$ hr (travel time without halt).
But here, total includes the 2 hr halt in Boston:
Effective travel time = 20 + 19 = 39 hr.
Distance Frankfurt → India = $180 \times 25$? Wait, correction:
Distance = 180 × 25 = 4500 miles.
