(ADRE 2024)
(A) 72 minutes
(B) 128 minutes
(C) 122 minutes
(D) 132 minutes
Answer:- (D) 132 minutes
Solution:-
To find out how long Neeta was traveling, we need to calculate the difference between the time she left home and the time she arrived home.
The time when Neeta left home: 9:43 AM
Converting it into minutes, we get = 9:43 AM = 9×60+43=540+43=583minutes
The time when she arrived home: 11:55 AM
Converting it into minutes, we get = 9:43 AM = 11×60+55=660+55=715minutes
The difference in minutes = Travel time = 715−583=132minutes
