Vikhil has an appointment near the train station in the city at 10.30 am. To get to the city,
Vikhil needs to catch a bus and then a train.The bus leaves from Vikhil’s stop every 10
minutes from 9.00am. The bus trip to the train station takes 25 minutes. From 9.30 am
the train leaves for the city every 20 minutes. The train takes 15 minutes to get to the
city. If Vikhil wants to arrive as close as possible to the appointment time, what is the latest
bus he could catch?
1) 9.10 am
2) 9.20 am
3) 9.30 am
4) 9.40 am
9:40
If he takes this bus he will reach at the station to take a train at 9:40 + 0:25 = 10:05
But the train leaves for the station after every 20 mins i.e at 9:50 and 10:10
SO he will take train which leaves for the city at 10:10.
Then the train will take 15 mins.
He will reach for the appointment at 10:10 + 0:15 = 10:25 which is the closest time he could reach for his appointment.
