Well I reject the first answer due to the fact that if it takes Vincent 50 minutes to deliver newspapers on a street and his house is one end of this really long street (if it takes 50 minutes to cross) then they most like don't live in the same neighborhood. Same street basically doesn't necessarily mean same neighborhood. So I reject A unless the time to deliver the newspapers becomes smaller.

Vincent distributes papers daily so he knows every people or house where papers will be delivered but thomas cannot to do so, so he will take more time than vincent.

Vincent and Thomas are neighborhood but the thing is Vincent is sick so as neighbor Thomas has to do the work in efficient way. So I concluded that its take 50 minutes more for Thomas to do the work of Vincent. The option B will be correct.

Hope the answer can be in a better way. Because he does the job at times so it takes more than 50 minutes. So answer may be b.

Well thinking. But not efficient.

Thomas is not doing daily while Vincent does it. Generally those who do daily do faster things. As it is not mentioned that Thomas is more efficient than Vincent, I conclude that Vincent will take more than 50 minutes.
