Inorder for all of them reach at the same time at the same point. we have to take the LCM
which is 120.
for this distance the time taken by A ,B and K will be 4,3,2 but this does not fit in the questions.
so we take the next point where they may meet which is 240.
the time taken by A,B and K is 8,6 and 4 respectivly.
from this we get hat ther is a difference of 4 hours. Sol C.

Shouldn't it take A 8 hours to travel 240 KM if he's going 30 KM/Hour? So the times would be A=8 B=6 K=4. This lines up if you double the KM from 120 to 240, because then the times will double along with it (4,3,2 ---> 8,6,4)
Therefore the answer is 4 (Sol C)
