Hi Max@Math Revolution,

Since the speed of Alice is double the speed of Bob the time taken by Alice is half the time taken by Bob.

Alice takes 10 mins thus Bob takes 10/(1/2) = 10*2 = 20. Option E.

Regards!

=>

After Alice passed Bob, she traveled for 10 more minutes.
Since Bob's speed is half of Alice's speed, he took a further 20 minutes to reach the destination.

Therefore, the answer is E.

Answer: E

Alice speed speed= 12km/hr
Bob speed= 6km/hr

Alice speed is twice the speed of Bob and the time taken by Alice will be 1/2 of the time taken by Bob.
After passing Bob, Alice took 10 minutes to reach the destination.
Bob now takes $$\frac{\left(10\right)}{\frac{1}{2}}$$ = 10*2=20 minutes

Therefore, it took Bob 20 minutes to reach the destination after Alice passed him.
Hence, option E is accurate
