• A. $12:35$
• B. $12:45$
• C. $12:25$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $12:35$

Paul gets into car at $11:46$ and GPS projects $49$ minutes to reach airport. Therefore, the sum of these two times will give the time to reach the airport.
Addition is shown in figure below:


It is $11$ hrs and $95$ mins
$=11\text{hrs}+95\text{mins}$

$\Rightarrow 95\text{minutes}=(60+35)\text{minutes}(\because 60\text{minutes}=1\text{hr})\therefore 95\text{minutes}=1\text{hour}+35\text{minutes}$

$11\text{hrs}+95\text{mins}=12\text{hrs}+35\text{mins}$

Therefore, Paul will reach the airport at $12:35.$
