• A. 2:30 p.m.
• B. 2:45 p.m.
• C. 3:00 p.m.
• D. 3:15 p.m.
• E. 3:00 a.m.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3:00 p.m.

The meeting started at 2:45 p.m.

Susan came in 15 minutes late.

That is, she came in 15 minutes after 2:45.

$45+15=60$

Since an hour consists of 60 minutes, 15 minutes after 02:45 is the same as 1 hour after 2 p.m., which is 3 p.m.

$\therefore$ Susan reached the meeting hall at 3 p.m..
