Detailed Solution

Distance of new home= 600 km 

Gupta's average speed=65 km/hr

Time is taken by Gupta to cover 600 km =60065

=9: 14(Approx.) 

Shanna's average speed=50 km/hr 

Time is taken by Sharma to cover 600 km = 12 hrs. 

Total time taken by Gupta = 9 :14 + 2:20 

= 11: 34 min 

Total time is taken by Sharma 

= 12 + 1 :30 (90 min= 1 :30 min)

 = 13: 30 min 

Required difference =13: 30 - 11: 34 

=1 hr 56 min = 116 min
