Solution
- Arun sleeps from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and hence he sleeps for 8 hours in the day.
- Arun plays from 7 to 8 a.m. which is the one-hour duration and again from 4 to 6 p.m. which is a two-hour duration. Hence, Arun plays for 3 hours a day.
- Arun studies for `1/4` part of the day and hence studies for `1/4` of 24 hours; which is equal to 6 hours.
8 + 3 + 6 = 17 hours
Time spent in other activities
= 24 – 17
= 7 hours.
