    C) \[16:00\text{ }hrs\]         

    D)        \[16:20\text{ }hr.\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [d] is correct. The next train from new Delhi to Agra will leave at 18:00 hrs. It is also clear that the train for Agra leaves at every two and half hrs. In other words, it is clear that previous train had left at \[18:00\text{ }hrs.-2:30\text{ }hrs=15:30\] hrs. thus this train had left 50 minute before the announcement was made. So, the announcement was made at \[15:30\text{ }hrs+00:50\text{ }hrs.=16:20\text{ }hrs.\]
