A man travels to chinsura everyday. his wife drives him over to Howrah Station every morning and in the evening exactly at 6 p.m. she picks him up from the station and takes him home.one day he was let off at work an hour earlier and so he arrived at the howrah station at 5p.m.instead of at 6 pm he started walking home. however he met his wife enroute to the station and got into the car. they drove home arriving 10 min. earlier than usual.How long did the man have to walk, before he was picked up by the wife?

• As they drove home arriving 10 min. earlier than usual, it means car has travelled for 5 minute less in each direction of its journey.
  
  It means , the mab met the car at 5.55 PM.
  
  so the man walked from 5 to 5:55 pm for 55 minutes before he was picked up by the wife.
