- First, calculate the distance traveled in the first 1/2 hour.

- Speed = 100 km/h

- Time = 0.5 hours

- Distance = Speed × Time = 100 × 0.5 = 50 km

- Remaining distance to cover = 290 km - 50 km = 240 km

- The remaining journey is at 80 km/h.

- Distance = 240 km

- Speed = 80 km/h

- Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 240 ÷ 80 = 3 hours

- Total time taken = Time for first part + Time for second part = 0.5 hours + 3 hours = 3.5 hours

- Correct Answer: Option:2, 3.5 hours
