Answer: C. 30 km

Every hour, Neel gets ahead of Ishan 30-20=10 km. When Neel arrived at the stadium, Ishan is only 20 x 0.5 =10 km behind. That tells us they only drove 1 hour when Neel arrived at the stadium. The distance between their home and the stadium is Neel's speed x Neel's time. = 30 x 1 = 30 km
