C Correct answer
Explanation

Let distance be D. Time = D/12 + D/6 = 6. (D + 2D)/12 = 6, so 3D/12 = 6, D/4 = 6, D = 24 km.

AI explanation

Let the one-way distance be d kilometres; using the formula time = distance / speed, the total time is d/12 + d/6 = 6 hours. Multiplying by 12 gives d + 2d = 72, so 3d equals 72. The distance between Amit's house and the garden is 24 kilometres.
