Answer / guest

5:05 PM

At 4:05 PM, the wagon driver passes the temple, one-fifth of
the way to the dock. Also, at 4:15 PM, he passes the
Preetam-Da-Dhabaa, one-third of the way. Thus, he travels
2/15 (1/3 - 1/5) of the distance in 10 minutes.

At 4:15 PM, he has already travelled 1/3 of the distance.
Thus 2/3 of the way is remaining, which can be travelled in

= ( (2/3) * 10 ) / (2/15)

= 50 minutes

At 4:15, he was at Preetam-Da-Dhabaa.and remaining way will
take 50 more minutes. Hence, the driver will reach at 5:05
PM to the dock.
