Question

reaching the place of meeting 10 minutes before 9:50 hours Sumit found himself 30 minutes earlier than the man who came 40 minute late what was the scheduled time for the meeting?

Answer 1

Find the time Sumit reached the place:

10 mins before 9.50H = 9.45H

Define x:

Let the time of the meeting be x hour

Form the equation:

The man was 40 mins late:

So he reached the place at x + 40 mins

Sumit was 30 mins earlier than that man:

Sumit reached at  x + 40 - 30 = x + 10 mins

Sove x:

x + 10 = 9.45H

x = 9.45H - 10 mins

x = 9.35H

Answer: The meeting was at 9.35 H
