A bus for Islamabad leaves after every fifty two minutes from a bus stand. An enquiry officer told a passenger that the bus had already left sixteen minutes ago and the next bus will leave at 08:15 pm. At what time did the enquiry officer give the information to the passenger?
Answer: 07:39 pm
Explanation
- Next bus: The next bus leaves at 08:15 PM.
- Previous bus: Since a bus leaves every 52 minutes, the previous bus left 52 minutes before 08:15 PM, which is at 07:23 PM.
- Current time: The enquiry officer said the previous bus left 16 minutes ago. So, we add 16 minutes to 07:23 PM, which gives us 07:39 PM.
Therefore, the enquiry officer gave the information at 07:39 PM.
So the correct answer is (B) 07:39 PM.
