The priest told the devotee, "The temple bell is rung at regular intervals of 45 minutes. The last bell was rung five minutes ago. The Next bell is due to be rung at 7:45am". At what time did the priest give this information to the devotee?

  • A.7.40 am
  • B.7.05 am
  • C.7.00 am
  • D.6.55 am

Answer: B

Correct answer: 7.05 am

The bells are 45 minutes apart, so the one before the 7:45 bell was rung at 7:00. That was five minutes earlier, which puts the conversation at \[ 7{:}00 + 5\text{ min} = \mathbf{7{:}05\ am} \]
