Answer : 2. "20 minutes"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20 minutes Explanation: First send 17 and 7. After 7 minutes, 7 is at finish and 17 needs 10 more minutes to complete his travel. now send 13. After 10 minutes 17 reaches finish and 13 needs 3 more minutes to complete. now send 3. both 3 and 13 reach destination at the same time after 3 minutes. hence the time taken is 7+10+3=20 minutes.
