Correct Answer: The distance between A and B is 3 kms.

Explanation:

Let, the distance between A and B is x kms

Mr. Arif can travel 10 minute the distancex km.

Mr. Arif can travel 1 hour the distance = x⋅6010

= 6x

Afzal can travel in 1 hour = x⋅609

=x⋅203

According to the question

x⋅203

-6x =2

=> 20x — 18x = 6

=> 2x = 6

=> x = 3
