Solution

The correct option is A 10:47
Time at which the bus reaches the destination = 2:05 pm
Converting this time in 24-hour format, we get the time as = 2:05 + 12:00
= 14:05
Time taken by the bus to reach the destination = 3 hours 18 minutes

$∴$ Time at which the bus would have started the journey
= 14 hours 05 minutes - 3 hours 18 mins = 10 hours 47 mins

The time at which the bus would have started the jouney in 24-hour format is 10:47.
