Correct Answer: Option B — 7:00 PM
Step-by-Step Calculation:1. Determine the starting time:"20 minutes to 6 in the evening" means 5:40 PM.2. Calculate the total time elapsed:
Travel to Anjali's house: 30 minutes Breakfast: 10 minutes Travel to office: 40 minutes Total duration: 30 + 10 + 40 = \mathbf{80 \text{ minutes}} (or 1 hour and 20 minutes).
3. Add the duration to the starting time:

5:40 PM + 80 minutes

5:40 PM + 1 hour = 6:40 PM

6:40 PM + 20 minutes = 7:00 PM
