(a)10 minutes
(b)20 minutes

Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Distance = Speed × Time $=\left(6 \times \frac{50}{60}\right) \mathrm{km}=5 \mathrm{km}$. $$\text { ∴ } \text { Required time }=\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Speed }}=\left(\frac{5}{10}\right) \mathrm{hrs}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{hr}=30 \mathrm{min} .$$
