Time elapsed from 2:55 PM to 3:15 PM on the same afternoon.
Column B:
$\frac{1}{3}$ hour
This question consists of two quantities, one in column A and other in column B. Compare the both quantities and choose answer option as

• B. if the quantity in Column A is greater
• C. if the two quantities are equal
• D. if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

if the two quantities are equal

Answer 2

Explanation:
Calculation for Column A (Time Elapsed):
From 2:55 PM to 3:15 PM:
Minutes from 2:55 to 3:00 = 5 minutes
Minutes from 3:00 to 3:15 = 15 minutes
Total time elapsed = 5 + 15 = 20 minutes
Converting Minutes to Hours:
$\text{Time in hours} = \frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours}$
Comparison with Column B:
Column B is also $\frac{1}{3}$​ hours.
Conclusion:
The two quantities are equal.
So, the correct answer is option C.
