न ढंग का खाना-पीना।
गैस जली नहीं, दाल गली नहीं,
आटा गुँथा नहीं, रोटी पकी नहीं।
पापा करते बड़बड़े, मुन्ने ने की गड़बड़।
स्कूल, दफ्तर को हुई देरी,
हर कोई कहे 'आई आफत मेरी'!

तब कहीं जाकर चैन आया।

Answer:
Distance = 320 km
Speed = 80 km/h
Driving time = \(\frac{320}{80} = 4\) hours
Break times = 30 minutes + 20 minutes = 50 minutes = \(\frac{5}{6}\) hours
Total time taken = 4 hours + 50 minutes = 4 hours 50 minutes.
