25. A bus leaves on a trip at 8:00 AM. What time will the bus reach the destination if the trip takes 35 hours?

Answer: D

Explanation:

The bus will reach the destination at 7:00 PM.

To determine the arrival time of the bus, we add the duration of the trip (35 hours) to the departure time (8:00 AM). This results in an arrival time of 7:00 PM the following day.

A) 12:00 PM

This option is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the total travel time. If the bus departed at 8:00 AM and the trip took only a few hours, a time like 12:00 PM could be considered, but with a duration of 35 hours, this is far too early.

B) 11:15 AM

This option is also incorrect. An arrival time of 11:15 AM would imply that the trip duration is significantly shorter than 35 hours, which contradicts the information provided in the question.

C) 11:25 AM

This option is incorrect for the same reason as B. An arrival at 11:25 AM suggests a much shorter travel duration, failing to account for the full 35 hours of the trip.

D) 7:00 PM

This is the correct option. By adding 35 hours to the departure time of 8:00 AM, we reach the precise arrival time of 7:00 PM the next day.

Conclusion

The correct answer is definitively 7:00 PM because it accurately reflects the total travel time of 35 hours added to the departure time. All other options miscalculate the duration of the trip, leading to incorrect arrival times that do not align with the initial departure.
