Reaching the place of meeting 10 minutes before 8:30 hrs. Aditi found herself thirty minutes earlier than the man who came 40 minutes late. What was the scheduled time of the meeting?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 8:10 hrs
Work from Aditi’s arrival time to the man’s, and then from the man’s to the scheduled time:
Aditi arrived 10 minutes before 8:30, that is, at 8:20
She was 30 minutes earlier than the man, so the man arrived at 8:20 + 30 min = 8:50
The man was 40 minutes late, so the meeting was scheduled for 8:50 − 40 min = 8:10
