Correct Answer: 15 km

Explanation:

Let, the distance between A and B is x km

The man travels between A and B 3 km in 1 hour

The man travels between A and B x km in $\frac{x}{3}$ hour

The man returns from B to A at the rate of 5 km. per hour

He takes time $\frac{x}{5}$ hour for return

According to question,-

$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{5}$ = 8

=> x = $\frac{8\cdot15}{8}$

x = 15km
