Answer: 1 hour


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance they walked be d_1 in time t_1 and the distance they walked be d_2 in time t_2 ,then

Walking speed=\frac{d_1}{t_1}=4

\\\Rightarrow\ d_1=4t_1

Riding speed=\frac{d_2}{t_2}=12

\\\Rightarrow\ d_2=12t_1

Also the total time taken=3 hours

∴t_1+t_2=3\\\Rightarrow\ t_2=3-t_1...(1)

Since the total distance= 20 km

∴d_1+d_2=20\\\Rightarrow4t_1+12t_2=20\\\Rightarrow4t_1+12(3-t_1)=20..............[\text{from (1)}]\\\Rightarrow4t_1+36-12t_1=20\\\Rightarrow-8t_1=-8\\\Rightarrow\ t_1=1

Thus, the they spent 1 hour time in walking.
