To find the time it will take for Koma to travel on the return trip, we can use the formula for inverse proportionality:
Speed1 x Time1 = Speed2 x Time2
For the first trip: Speed1 = 120 km/hr Time1 = 3 ¹/² hours = 7/2 hours
For the return trip: Speed2 = 100 km/hr Time2 = unknown
Plugging in the values: 120 x 7/2 = 100 x Time2 840 = 100 x Time2 Time2 = 840 / 100 Time2 = 8.4 hours
Therefore, it will take Koma 8.4 hours to travel on the return trip.

Let x be the time Koma will take to travel on the return trip.
Speed is inversely proportional to time. This means that:
Speed ∝ 1/Time
or
Speed = k/Time
where k is a constant of proportionality.
For the first trip, we have:
Speed = 120 km/hr Time = 3 ¹/² hours
Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:
120 = k/3 ¹/²
Solving for k, we get:
k = 120 × 3 ¹/² = 240
For the return trip, we have:
Speed = 100 km/hr Time = x hours
Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:
100 = 240/x
Solving for x, we get:
x = 240/100 = 2.4 hours
Therefore, it will take Koma 2.4 hours to travel on the return trip.
