20. Unscramble the two words : B E G I L N P P U Y Z BUNGLE & ZIPPY
Maths workings:
Let distance between home and the town be D.

I took 4 hours to reach the town. So speed while travelling towards the town is D/4.

Similarly, I took 3 hours to reach home. So speed while coming back is D/3.

There is a speed difference of 7*D/12, which is the wind helping me in 1 direction, & slowing me in the other direction. Average the 2 speeds, & you have the speed that person can travel in no wind, which is 7*D/24.

Hence, I will take D / (7*D/24) hours to travel distance D which is 24/7 hours.

Answer is 3 hours 25 minutes 42 seconds
