A bus for Chapra leaves forty five minutes from a bus stand. An enquiry clerk told a passenger that bus had already left ten minutes ago and the next bus will leave at 11.55 am. At what time did the enquire clerk give this information to the passenger?

Options

A. (a) 11.05 am
B. (b) 10.35am
C. (c) 11.25 am
D. (d) 11.20 am

Answer

D

Explanation

According to the question, the next bus will leave at 11.55 am.
So previous bus had left at (11.55 am-45 minutes)
i.e. 11.55 am. -0.45 hr=11.10 am
But it has happened ten minutes before the clerk gave the information to the passenger.
Therefore, the passenger got the information from the enquiry clerk at (11.10 am + 10 minutes)
i.e.11.10 am + 0.10 hr=11.20 am
