Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: 16:10 hrs.
Reason:
Trains run every 2 hours 30 minutes (2:30).
If the next train is at 18:00, the previous departure was at 18:00 − 2:30 = 15:30.
The announcement said the train had left 40 minutes earlier, so announcement time = 15:30 + 0:40 = 16:10.
Therefore the announcement was made at 16:10 hrs.
