• A. 11:50 A.M.
• B. 11:28 A.M.
• C. 12:28 A.M.
• D. 12:50 A.M.

Answer 1

The correct option is A 11:50 A.M.

The show ended at 02:15 P.M.
Duration of show = 2 hours 47 minutes
So, the show started at
= 02: 15 - 2 hours 47 minutes
= 14: 15 - 2 hours 47 minutes
let's first subtract 2 hours alone.
Now let's subtract the remaining 47 minutes,
= 12:15 - 47 minutes
47 can be written as 15 + (47 - 15)
= 12:15 - 15 minutes - 32 minutes
= 12:00 - 32 minutes
we know,
12:00 P.M. - 30 minutes - 2 minutes
= 11:28 A.M.
Now, she got late by 22 minutes
Hence, she entered the theatre at
= 11:28 + 22 minutes
= 11:50 A.M.
