The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the given time
- The time given is \(\text{10:27 AM}\).
Step 2: Finding total minutes from 10:27 AM to 12:00 noon
- From 10:27 AM to 11:00 AM: \(60 - 27 = 33\) minutes.
- From 11:00 AM to 12:00 noon: \(60\) minutes.
Step 3: Adding the two intervals \[ 33 + 60 = 93 \ \text{minutes} \] Step 4: Conclusion
There are \(93\) minutes before 12:00 noon when the time is 10:27 AM. \[ \boxed{\text{Answer: (B) 93 minutes}} \]
