Steve's Bus is at 8 :32

Step-by-step explanation:

Bus timings :

06 : 32

06 : 43

06 : 50

07 : 17

07 : 46

08 : 19

08 : 32

09: 17

09: 19

09:50

Alice Do not know bus time because each hour has more than 1 timing

but Alice says Annies also does not know

if it was 6 hr then at 43 minutes Annie would have known that 6 : 43 is the bus time

hence hr is not 6

if it was 7 hr then at 46 minutes annie would know that its 7 : 46

hence hr is not 7

if it was 8 hr then  Annie could not know exact time as 19 & 32 minutes are available in different hrs

so hr can be 8

if it was 9 hr , Annie could not know exact time as 17 , 19  & 50  minutes are available in different hrs

So hr can be  9 also

now annie knows hr  is 8  or 9

19 is common in both so minute can not be 19

so bus  timing can be  8 : 32  or 9:17  or 9 : 50

but now Allice say she also knows the bus timing  

hence it must be 8 : 32   ( as in case of 9 hr there are two options so Allice would not have known exact timing if it has been 9 hr hence it must be 8 hr)

Hence Steve Bus timing is  8 : 32

Steve’s bus is at 8 :32
