A distance can be walked and driven back from
in 6 hours
The distance can be walked there and back in 10 hours
therefore one leg of the journey can be walked in 10/2
= 5hours.
As the distance can be walked and driven back from
in 6 hours. 6 - 5 = 1 hour which is how long it takes
to drive the journey one way.
Therefore it will take 2 hours to drive both ways
