Question

The bank normally closes at 5 pm. But, today the Manager left the bank 25 minutes late, while the Cashier left the bank 25 minutes after the Manager. What time did the Cashier leave the bank?

• A. 17:50
• B. 16:50
• C. 18:50
• D. 19:50

Answer 1

The correct option is A 17:50

Normal closing time of the bank = 5:00 pm
Manager left 25 minutes late ⇒ (5:00 + 00:25) pm = 5: 25 pm
Cashier left the bank 25 minutes after the Manager left
⇒ (5:25 + 00:25) pm = 5: 50 pm
∴ Cashier left at 5:50 pm, which in the 24- hour format is 17:50.
