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

Rationale

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

To determine the arrival time, we add the trip duration of 35 hours to the departure time of 8:00 AM. This calculation leads us to 7:00 PM the following day.

A (12:00 PM) YOUR ANSWER

This option suggests that the bus would arrive shortly after noon on the same day, which is incorrect. Adding 35 hours to 8:00 AM clearly indicates that the bus would not arrive until the next evening, significantly later than noon.

B (11:15 AM) YOUR ANSWER

This choice indicates a morning arrival on the following day, which is also incorrect. The trip duration exceeds 35 hours, meaning the bus cannot arrive before the afternoon of the second day, making the 11:15 AM option impossible.

C (11:25 AM) YOUR ANSWER

Like the previous options, this choice suggests a morning arrival on the next day, which conflicts with the 35-hour trip time. The arrival time must be in the evening of the following day, ruling out any morning times.

D (7:00 PM) CORRECT

This is the correct choice, as adding 35 hours to 8:00 AM results in 7:00 PM the next day. This calculation accurately reflects the total duration of the trip.

Conclusion

In summary, when a bus departs at 8:00 AM and travels for 35 hours, it arrives at 7:00 PM the following day. The other options suggest arrival times that are not possible given the trip duration, reinforcing that 7:00 PM is the only feasible arrival time.
