Option 1 : 23 minutes
|
Friends |
Time taken to cross bridge |
|
A |
1 minute |
|
B |
2 minutes |
|
C |
8 minutes |
|
D |
11 minutes |
A pair must walk together at the speed of the person who walks slowly.
As A takes the shortest time, so each friend will walk with A.
Time taken:
A crossing the bridge with B and then retuning = 1 + 2 minutes
= 3 minutes
A crossing the bridge with C and then retuning = 1 + 8 minutes
= 9 minutes
A crossing the bridge with D = 11 minutes
A won’t return as none of the friend is left.
So, the minimum time required to cross the bridge by all the four people = (3 + 9 + 11) minute
= 23 minutes
Hence, ’23 minutes’ is the correct answer.
