Question

A bus for New Delhi leaves every two and a half hours from Kashipur Bus Stand. An announcement was made at the bus stand that the bus for New Delhi has left 40 min ago and the next bus will leave at 18 h. At what time the announcement was made?

Options

• 16:10 h

• 16:15 h

• 17:05 h

• 17:20 h

Answer 1

16:10 h
Explanation:
According to the announcement next bus will leave at 18 h.
∴ The last bus would have been left at 18:00h - 2:30 h i.e. 15:30 h.
Hence, the announcement was made at the bus stand at 15:30 h + 40 min i.e. 16:10 h.
