leaves horse there and walks for next 3 hrs up to 24 kms point.
second person will walk for 3 hrs up to 12 kms point.
Takes horse for next 1 hr to reach at 24 kms point.

Total journey= 440 ×

2=880

A meet B 20 yards from the top in getting down it means he has covered 440+20=460 yards while B is 420 yards.so he is 40 yards ahead of B which is equals to 5 minute.

so 40 yards in 5 min

880 yards will be in 5 ×
880/ (40) =110 minute.
