a) 8:30 AM

b) 8:45 AM

c) 8:55 AM

d) 8:05 AM

Answer: (b)

Clearly, Raveena left home 10 min before 8 : 40 am i.e., at 8 : 30 am

but it was 15 min earlier than usual,

so she usually leaves for the stop at (8 : 30 + 0 : 15) = 8 : 45 am.

A bus for Delhi leaves every 30 min from a bus stand. An enquiry clerk, Ram told Shyamlal, a passenger that the bus has already left 10 min ago and the next bus will leave at 9 : 35 am. At what time did the enquiry clerk give this information to Shyamlal?

a) 9:10 AM

b) 9:15 AM

c) 9:20 AM

d) 9:05 AM

e) 9:25 AM

Answer: (b)

As next bus leaves at 9 : 35 am.

Therefore, Previous bus left at (9 : 35 - 0 : 30) = 9 : 05 am.

The time when enquiry clerk gave this information = 9 : 05 + 0 : 10 = 9 : 15 am.

Question : 8

b) 17 : 25 h

c) 16 : 10 h

Answer: (c)

Time of the last train leaving the station = (18 : 00 - 2 : 30) h = 15 : 30 h

Therefore, Time of making announcement = (15 : 30 + 0 : 40) = 16 : 10 h.
