Question

A boy starts from his school at 1:00 pm and reaches home at 1:24 pm. How many seconds does it take him to reach home?

• A. 990 secs
• B. 960 secs
• C. 1400 secs
• D. 1440 secs

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1440 secs

Start time = 1:00
End time = 1:24

$\begin{array}{cc}h:min& \\ 1:24& \\ \underset{–}{-1:00}& \\ 0:24& \end{array}1\text{min}=60\text{secs}\therefore 24\text{mins}=24\times 60\text{secs}=1440secs$
