Question

Alex wakes up in the morning and realizes he is late for work. If the clock shows the current time he reached office and his work time started at 9:30 am, how late is he for his work? (Hint: It is still sunny outside)

• A. 2 hours 20 minutes
• B. 2 hours 50 minutes
• C. 2 hours 30 minutes
• D. 2 hours 10 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is A

2 hours 20 minutes

The time shown on the given clock = 11:50

Time Alex reached office = 11:50 am

Work time starts at = 9:30 am

Alex was late by = 11:50 - 9:30

$Hoursminutes11:50\underset{–}{-9:30}\underset{–}{2:20}$

He's late by 2 hours 20 minutes.
