Question

Secretary has arrived at 10.10 am, 30 minutes before chairperson. Chairperson arrived
10 minutes late to the scheduled meeting. When is meeting scheduled?

Answer 1

Answer: 10:30 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Secretary arrived at 10:10 am

Chairperson arrived 30 mins after Secretary, i.e. 10:10 + 30 mins = 10:40 am

But the chairperson arrived 10 mins late for the meeting, so 10:40 am - 10 mins

= 10:30 am

Answer 2

secretary arrived at 10:10 am

chairperson arrived at 10:40 am (30 minutes after secretary)

scheduled timing is 10:30 am(10 minutes before arrival of chairperson)

so scheduled timing is 10:30 am
