\end{tabular}

Based on the information provided, what time does the Hiram Bingham 12 train depart?

A. 5:50 p.m.

B. 5:50 a.m.

C. [tex]$6: 50$[/tex] p.m.

D. 6:50 a.m.



Answer :

To determine the correct departure time for the Hiram Bingham 12 train, let's convert the given 24-hour format time to a 12-hour format time.

The departure time for the Hiram Bingham 12 train is 17:50.

1. Since 17 is greater than 12, we know it is in the PM period.
2. To convert the hour from 24-hour format to 12-hour format, we subtract 12 from 17:
[tex]\[ 17 - 12 = 5 \][/tex]
So, the hour in 12-hour format is 5.
3. The minutes remain unchanged, which is 50.
4. The period is PM since 17 is in the evening.

Therefore, the converted time is 5:50 p.m.

So, the correct option is:
5:50 p.m.
