Answer:

They will reach after 26 hours i.e tomorrow noon

Explanation:

Start time = 10 a.m

Starting point marker = 2 mile

End point = 80 miles

Distance to be traveled = 80 - 2 = 78 miles

Average speed = 3 miles per hour

Now,

Time =
\frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{Speed}}

or

Time =
(78)/(3)

or

Time = 26 hours

Therefore,

They will reach after 26 hours i.e tomorrow noon
