Solution

The correct option is B 14.50 hrs
If the next train leaves New Delhi station at 16:30 hours, then the last train left 2 hours before i.e. at 14:30 hours.
The announcement was made that the train left 20 min ago. Therefore, time when the announcement was made was 14:30+00:20=14:50 hours.
Answer is Option B
