In how many days was the 241 mile-journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi covered on foot by Gandhi and his volunteers?

To answer this question, we need to calculate the number of days it took to cover the 241-mile journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi on foot.

Given that the distance is 241 miles, we need to divide this distance by the distance covered in a single day to determine the number of days it took.

Now, we don't have the exact distance covered by Gandhi and his volunteers in a single day. However, historical records indicate that they covered an average distance of 10 miles per day.

So, to find the number of days, we divide the total distance of 241 miles by the average distance covered per day, which is 10 miles:

$\frac{241}{10} = 24.1$

Since we cannot have a fraction of a day, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, it took them 24 days to cover the 241-mile journey.

Hence, the correct answer is B) 24.
