If it is 6:27 in the evening on a certain day, what time in the morning was it exactly 2,880,7171 minutes earlier? (Assume standard time in one location)
A-6:22
B-6:24
C-6:27
D-6:30
E-6:32


THE ANSWER IS D. PLEASE EXPLAIN. THANK YOU.

I cant figure out an easier way. Above all, with answer choices so close i dont think there is an easier way of getting the answer.

If a question like this appears on the GMAT, I am guessing and moving on unless it is the last question in quant section. I dont want to ruin my verbal.

Anyway, if anybody find an easier way pls do help.

In which book did you find such a question.

There is something wrong with the question, or with the answer choices. If you take away anything ending in 1 from anything ending in 7 (assuming everything is positive), the answer will end in 6. None of the answers ends in 6. In any case, 2,880,7171 is not proper notation for a number!

Hi hakyology,

I think you made a typing mistake here. In the other link that Ian mentioned the last digit is 7, your question has an extra 1 in the end and that is not possible with any of the options here.

Can you please check.

Regards,
