Question:

A flight from Delhi to Mumbai leaves every 5 hours. At the evening counter, it clarify that flight took off 25 minutes ago. If the time now is 10:40 am, what is the time for the next flight?

Options:

3:15 pm

3:15 am

2:10 pm

2:10 am

Correct Answer:

3:15 pm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 3:15 pm

Flight leaves every 5 hours, but the flight left 25 mins before.

Therefore the next flight is in = 5:00 - 00:25 = 4:60 - 00:25  ( 1 hour = 60 min ) =4:35

Therefore the next flight will leave in 4 hours and 35 mins.

Now, Exact time = 10:40 + 4:35 = 14:75  = 15:15 ( Since 60 mins = 1 hour )

Now 15:15 could also be written as 3:15 PM.
