Detailed Solution

The correct option is (A),
Given the speed at which the Ship is traveling is $= 40 k m$ in one hour
The distance between the Maldives and Delhi is $= 2900 k m$
The distance traveled by ship in one hour is $40 k m$ .
Time taken by the ship to complete this distance will be given by dividing the total distance by the speed of the ship i.e.
$= \frac{2900}{40} = 72.5$
Hence, the time taken by the ship is $72$ and a half hours.
This will be $3$ days and half an hour.
Therefore, Arjun will reach the Maldives in $3$ days and half an hour.
