  • A7:53 am
  • B6:33 am
  • C4:00 pm
  • D10:45 am

Step-by-Step Solution

LCM(35, 45, 63): 5 and 7, so LCM = minutes = 5 hours 15 minutes. 5:30 am + 5 h 15 min = 10:45 am. Adding the intervals (35 + 45 + 63 = 143 min) gives 7:53 am; using only the longest interval gives 6:33 am; doubling the LCM gives 4:00 pm.
Answer: D) 10:45 am
