Asmita reaches school for a meeting 15 minutes before 8:30 am. She reached half an hour earlier than her colleague who is 40 minutes late for the meeting. What is the scheduled time of the meeting? Correct Answer 8:05 am

Calculation:

Asmita reaches school 15 minutes before 8.30 am

So, The time at which Asmita reaches school = 8∶30 am – 15 minutes = 8∶15 am

Asmita reaches half an hour earlier than her colleague,

So, Her colleague reaches school at  8∶45 am

And, Her colleague is 40 minutes late for the meeting

The scheduled time of the meeting = 8∶45 am – 40 minutes = 8∶05 

∴ The scheduled time of the meeting is 8∶05 am
