C Correct answer
Explanation

Let distance be D. Time = D/3 + D/2 = 5. (2D + 3D) / 6 = 5 => 5D/6 = 5 => D = 6 km.

AI explanation

Assuming the one-way distance is d, the total time taken is the sum of the individual times, giving the equation (d divided by 3) plus (d divided by 2) equals 5. Adding the fractions yields 5d divided by 6 equals 5. Solving for d gives a distance of 6 km.
