Correct Answer: 3:00 p.m.
Solution :
Given:
Distance = 200 km
Speed = 40 km/h
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
= 200 ÷ 40
= 5 hours
Total time of rest
= (15 + 30 + 15) mins
= 60 mins
Now, convert minutes into hours
= 60 ÷ 60
= 1 hour
Total time taken by
bus driver –
= 5 + 1
= 6 hours
Therefore, the bus driver will reach his destination at
= 9:00 a.m. + 6 hours
= 3:00 p.m.
Hence, the second option is correct.
