Correct Answer: 360
Solution : Given, Speed while going = 45 km/h Speed while returning = 40 km/h Time is taken while returning - Time taken while going = 1 hour We know, Distance = Speed $\times$ Time Let's assume the distance between Punit's home and his relative's place to be '$d$' km. Then, the time taken while going would be: Time = $\frac{d}{45}$ While returning, the time taken would be: Time = $\frac{d}{40}$ According to the question, $\frac{d}{40} - \frac{d}{45} = 1$ ⇒ $\frac{9d-8d}{360}=1$ ⇒ $d$ = 360 km Hence, the correct answer is 360 km.
