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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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.
