A

B

D

Soln.
Ans: a

Minutes from 5::38 A.M. to 6::00 A.M. are 60 - 38 = 22. Minutes from 6::00 A.M. to 12::00 noon are 60 X 6 = 360 mins. Minutes from 12::00 noon to 4::36 P.M. are 60 x 4 = 240 + 36 = 276 mins. So total minutes are 22 + 360 + 276 = 658 minutes, which are equal to 60 X 10 + 58 Thus, hours are = 10, and minutes = 58
