Solution

The correct option is B

1:00 pm - Shiva, 1:00 pm - Murugan, 3:00 pm - Sethupathi


Shiva reaches Bangalore by 9 pm
The duration of his travel is 8 hours
9 pm when converted to the 24-hour format, it is 21 hours.
21 - 8 = 13
He should have started his journey at 13 hours which when converted to 12 'o' clock format becomes 1:00 pm.
So Shiva left at 1:00 pm.

Sethupathi reaches Bangalore by 9 pm
Travel duration from Coimbatore to Bangalore is 6 hours
9 pm, when converted to the 24-hour format, it is 21 hours.
21 - 6 = 15
He should have started his journey at 15 hours, which when converted to 12'o' clock format becomes 15 - 12 = 3 pm.
So Sethupathi left at 3:00 pm

Murugan reaches Bangalore by 9 pm
The duration of his travel is 8 hours
9 pm when converted to the 24-hour format, it is 21 hours
21 - 8 = 13
He should have started his journey at 13 hours, which when converted to 12 'o' clock format becomes 1:00 pm
So Murugan left at 1:00 pm
