A train leaves at 09:48 and the journey takes 2 hours 37 minutes. What time does it arrive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 12:25

  1. Step 1: 09:48 + 2 hours = 11:48.
  2. Step 2: 11:48 + 12 minutes = 12:00, and 25 minutes remain (37 - 12), so 12:25.
Answer
12:25.
Why not the others: 12:15 and 12:35 are 10 minutes out in each direction, and 11:25 forgets the two hours.
