    Answer:A) 1.5

    Step-by-step explanation: Bob runs at the rate of 8mins per mile

    In 60mins his rate would be=60/8=7.5

    Let a be the distance he further runs south

    2s+3.25

    Total distance covered in 50mins=Time=distance/speed=

    50/60

    50/60=2s + 3.25/7.5

    Cross multiply

    60 (2s+3.25) = 50*7.5

    120s+195=375

    120s=375-195

    S=180/120

    S=1.5
