Question

Rajdhani Express starts from a station at 7:29 p.m. and reaches next destination after 17 hours and 42 minutes. The time by which it reaches the destination is
1. 1:29 PM
2. 1:11 AM
3. 7:42 AM
4. 1:11 PM

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1:11 PM

Calculation:

Starting time = 7:29 PM

After 12 hours, time = 7:29 AM

After adding 5 hours more in it, time = 12:29 PM

So, we can say that after 17 hours, time = 12:29 PM

Now, the time after 17 hours and 42 minutes would become 12:71 PM.

But, we know that in one hour, there are 60 minutes. 

⇒ 71 minutes = 60 minutes + 11 minutes

⇒ The required time would be 1:11 PM

Hence, the time by which the train reaches the destination is 1:11 PM.
