Kaushal leaves his house at 20 minutes to 8 in the morning, reaches Kapil's house in 30 minutes. They finish their breakfast in another 15 minutes and leave for their office which takes another 35 minutes. At what time do they leave Kapil's house to reach their office?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 8:25 a.m.
“20 minutes to 8” means 20 minutes before 8 o’clock. The question asks when they leave Kapil’s house, so only the times up to the end of breakfast are added; the 35 minutes to the office come after it.
Kaushal leaves home: 7:40 a.m.
Reaches Kapil’s house: 7:40 a.m. + 30 minutes = 8:10 a.m.
Breakfast over, they leave: 8:10 a.m. + 15 minutes = 8:25 a.m.
