• B. 93
• C. 49
• D. 94

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To find out how many minutes before 12 noon it is when it is 27 minutes past 10 am, we need to calculate the total minutes left until 12 noon from the given time.

The time now is 10:27 am. We aim to determine the interval until 12:00 noon.

First, calculate the minutes from 10:27 am to 11:00 am:

• From 10:27 am to 11:00 am is 33 minutes.

Next, calculate the minutes from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon:

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, so from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon is 60 minutes.

Now, add these two intervals together:

• 33 minutes + 60 minutes = 93 minutes.

Thus, it is 93 minutes before 12 noon when it is 27 minutes past 10 am.
