• B. Electric car show, 42 minutes
• C. Hybrid car show, 40 minutes
• D. Electric car show, 40 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hybrid car show, 42 minutes

$\text{Electric car show - 11:45 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.}$

• Let us calculate the elapsed time between 11:45 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.

$\text{Hybrid car show - 2:34 p.m. to 3:16 p.m.}$

• Let us calculate the elapsed time between 2:34 p.m. to 3:16 p.m.

• Therefore, the hybrid car show was for a longer duration of 42 minutes.

Hence, option D is correct.
