Answer
SELF-PRACTICE — the source book printed no answer.
Nothing is invented here, so this question has no answer on record.
Explanation
From II, we have: distance covered by Sachin from 5:40 p.m. to 6:04 p.m., i.e., in 24 min $=3$ miles. $\therefore$ Length of the route $=$ distance covered in 80 min $=\left(\frac{3}{24}\times80\right)$ miles $=10$ miles.
