Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by the john to get to his uncle be x.

Let the time taken by the john to get back from his uncle be y.

So,

x+y=12 ------ equation 1

According to the given velocities:

20x=30y

x=3/2y

Put the value x=3/2y in equation 1

3/2y+y =12

3y+2y/2=12

3y+2y=12*2

5y=24

y=24/5

y=4.8h

Now put the value of y in x=3/2y

x=3/2*4.8

x=14.4/2

x=7.2h ....
