Question

A 5 hours and 25 minutes long flight begins at 9:35 AM. About what time will the journey complete?

• A. 2:00 PM
• B. 3:00 PM
  
• C. 4:00 PM
  
• D. 5:00 PM

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3:00 PM


To find the journey completion time, lets estimate the given time durations.
9:35 AM can be estimated as 9:30 AM.
5 hours and 25 minutes journey can be taken as 5 hours and 30 minutes.

lets add the hours first.
9 + 5 = 14.
Which means 2 o'clock. (14:00 in 24 hour format is 2:00 PM in 12 hour format)

Now, lets add the remaining minutes.
30 + 30 = 60
So, 60 minutes is 1 hour.

Adding 1 hour to the previous 2 PM will give 3 PM.
Hence, the journey will be completed by 3 PM.
