Correct Answer

Explanation


Based on the information given, it looks like you are trying to find the distance between a village and a city. 

A person travels from the village to the city and back at a speed of 8 km/hr, and the total time taken for the round trip is 4 hours 45 minutes, or 285 minutes.

To find the total distance traveled, we can convert the time taken to hours by dividing by 60. 

The total time taken is 285/60 = 19/4 hours. The total distance traveled is then 8 * (19/4) = 38 km.

Since the person traveled from the village to the city and back, the distance between the village and the city is half of the total distance traveled, or 38/2 = 19 km.
