B Correct answer
Explanation

Distance 1 = 50 km/h * (12/60) h = 10 km. Distance 2 = 40 km/h * (18/60) h = 12 km. Total distance = 10 + 12 = 22 km.

AI explanation

Using the formula Distance equals Speed multiplied by Time, the first part of the journey covers 50 km/h multiplied by 12 by 60 hours, equaling 10 km. The second part covers 40 km/h multiplied by 18 by 60 hours, equaling 12 km. Adding these two distances gives a total of 22 km. The total distance covered is 22 km.
