Answer 2

The hypotenuse of the way that they have taken is equal to 2 miles. Jogging this distance with a rate of 5 miles per hour will take Jesse 0.4 hours. Further, for Mark to be back to the starting point, the total distance covered is 2.75. Dividing the distance by 12 miles per hour, it will take Mark only 0.23 hours. Thus, Mark will reach the initial point first.
