I normally catch the 08:19 bus to work in the morning. Yesterday, I thought that I had arrived the bus stop 2 minutes too late and would have to wait for the later bus. However, my watch turned out to be 6 minutes fast and the 08:19 bus was running 3 minutes late.How long did I wait at the bus stop yesterday morning?
Correct answer: B. 7 minutes
- A. 5 minutes
- B. 7 minutes
- C. 9 minutes
- D. 11 minutes
Explanation
You thought you were 2 minutes late based on your watch, which was actually 6 minutes fast. Therefore, you were 4 minutes early (6 - 2 = 4). The bus was also 3 minutes late, meaning you waited a total of 7 minutes (4 minutes early + 3 minutes late = 7 minutes). Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they miscalculate either the time you arrived or the bus's delay.
