B Correct answer
Explanation

Time taken = Distance / Speed = 10 km / 4 km/hr = 2.5 hours. 2.5 hours is 2 hours and 30 minutes. To reach at 10:00 am, he must start at 7:30 am.

AI explanation

To find the time taken to travel to the station, use the formula time equals distance divided by speed, which gives 10 km divided by 4 km/hr, equaling 2.5 hours. Since 2.5 hours is 2 hours and 30 minutes, he needs to start 2 hours and 30 minutes before 10:00 am. Starting at 7:30 am will get him to the station exactly on time.
