Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: 16:10 hrs.
Reason:
Convert the interval: 2 (1/2) hours = 2 hours 30 minutes.
Find the previous scheduled departure before 18:00: 18:00 − 2:30 = 15:30.
The announcement said a train left 40 minutes ago, so the announcement time is 40 minutes after the 15:30 departure: 15:30 + 0:40 = 16:10.
Therefore the announcement was made at 16:10 hrs.
