Leisure activities make up : 20% of 24hrs. = total leisure activity time of 4.8hrs.
Leisure activity reduced by: 25% of 4.8hrs. = 1.2hrs. (and added to sleeping time.)
Sleeping time makes up: 25% of 24 hrs. = total sleeping time of 6hrs.
Add the reduction of leisure activity to total sleeping time: 1.2hrs. + 6hrs. = NEW SLEEPING TIME of 7.2hrs. (answer C)
PS answer choices A and B are posted with a %-sign following the numbers, could be edited.

7.2 Hours is answer D, not C.
The first two answer choices, as far as the book is wrong, they are correct.
