Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Kapil leaves his house 20 minutes before six in the morning.

Six in the morning is 6:00 AM.

20 minutes before 6:00 AM is 5:40 AM.


Kapil travels for 25 minutes to reach Kamal's house.

Time of departure: 5:40 AM

Travel time: 25 minutes

Time of arrival at Kamal's house:

5:40 AM+25 minutes5:40 \text{ AM} + 25 \text{ minutes}

=6:05 AM= 6:05 \text{ AM}


They finish their breakfast in 15 minutes.

Breakfast starts at: 6:05 AM

Breakfast duration: 15 minutes

Breakfast ends at:

6:05 AM+15 minutes6:05 \text{ AM} + 15 \text{ minutes}

=6:20 AM= 6:20 \text{ AM}


They leave for their institute immediately after finishing breakfast.

Therefore, they leave Kamal's house at 6:20 AM.
