Question

It takes $52$ minutes for Nellie to listen her favourite playlist. If she starts at $17$ minutes past $5$, she will be able to complete it by .

• A. $6:49$
• B. $5:49$
• C. $5:32$
• D. $6:52$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $5:49$

Puline starts $17$ minutes past five, so her start time $=05:17$

Time taken to complete the album $=52$ minutes

Adding $52$ minutes to $17$ minutes past five, to find out the exact time :


$\because 60\text{min}=1\text{hour}\Rightarrow 69\text{min}=60\text{min}+9\text{min}=1\text{hr}+9\text{min}$

Therefore, $05:69$ will be $06:09$, when Nellie finishes listening to the playlist.
