A priest told a devotee, “The temple bell is rung at regular intervals of 45 minutes. The last bell was rung five minutes ago. The next bell is due to be rung at 7:45 a.m.” At what time did the priest give this information to the devotee?

A
7:05 a.m.
💡 Explanation:

Clearly, the last bell rung 45 minutes before 7:45 a.m, i.e. at 7:00 a.m. But it happened five minutes before the priest gave the information to the devotee. So, the information was given at 7:05 a.m.
