Question

\((6:30+19:50), \)in 24 hours clock is :

• A. \(2:20\)
• B. \(1:80\)
• C. \(14:20\)
• D. \(13:80\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem of adding two times in the 24-hour clock format, specifically \(6:30\) and \(19:50\), follow these steps:

1. Convert the times to minutes:
   \(6:30\) is \(6 \times 60 + 30 = 390\) minutes.
   \(19:50\) is \(19 \times 60 + 50 = 1190\) minutes.
2. Add the total minutes:
   \(390 + 1190 = 1580\) minutes.
3. Convert the total minutes back to hours and minutes:
   First, divide the total minutes by 60 to find the hours: \(\text{hours} = \left\lfloor \frac{1580}{60} \right\rfloor = 26\).
   Then find the minutes: \(\text{minutes} = 1580 \mod 60 = 20\).
4. Convert the hours into the 24-hour clock format:
   Since \(26 \, \text{hours} = 24 + 2\), the time in the 24-hour format is \(2:20\).

So, the correct answer is \(2:20\). This matches the given correct option \(2:20\).
