Correct Answer: Option B — 6 hours
1. Calculate the Total Distance
The recorded speed was 60 kilometers per hour.

The recorded journey time was 5 hours.

Multiplying the speed of 60 by the time of 5 gives a total distance of 300 kilometers.

2. Calculate the Real Time Taken
The actual speed was 50 kilometers per hour.

The distance to cover remains 300 kilometers.

Dividing the total distance of 300 by the real speed of 50 gives 6 hours.

Conclusion
The real time taken for the trip is 6 hours.
