Solution
Given:
- • The current day and time is 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday
To find:
- • The time (to the nearest minute) 100,000 seconds from now
Approach and Working:
As 1 hour = 3600 seconds, we can classify 100,000 seconds in the following manner:
- • \(\frac{100000}{3600}\) = 27.78 hours = 24 hours + 3 hours + 0.78 hours = 1 day 3 hours (0.78 * 60) minutes = 1 day 3 hours 46 minutes(approx.)
From 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, if we move forward 1 day 3 hours 46 minutes, we get 1:16 a.m. Thursday
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

First, let’s convert 100,000 seconds into minutes.
100,000 sec = 100,000/60 ≈ 1,667 min
Now, let’s convert 1,667 minutes into hours and minutes.
Since 1,667/60 = 27 47/60, 1,667 min = 27 hours 47 min
So we have to add 27 hours 47 min to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Adding the first 24 hours to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, becomes 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, and adding the final 3 hours 47 min to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday becomes 1:17 a.m. Thursday.
Answer: D
