• A. 02:21 P.M.
• B. 02:42 P.M.
• C. 02:21 A.M.
• D. 02:42 A.M.

Answer 1

The correct option is B 02:42 P.M.

The trip was divided in 2 parts that means 3 hours 21 minutes each.
The journey starts at 11:00 A.M.
End of the first part = 11:00 + 3 hours 21 minutes
= 14:21
= 02:21 P.M.
Hence, the first part of trip ended at 02:21 P.M.
Now, a 21-minute break was taken after the first part.
= 02:21 + 21 minutes
= 02:42 P.M.
Hence, the time at which break end is 02:42 P.M.
