If A takes 25 minutes to reach the railway station and his train is scheduled at #& (hour hand at # and minute hand at &), at what time should he leave to reach the station 5 minutes earlier?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The train is scheduled at #&.
   - '# means either hour or minute hand is at 5.
   - & means either hour or minute hand is at 2.

2. Since the first symbol represents the hour hand and the second the minute hand, the time is 5:10 PM (because minute hand at 2 means 10 minutes).

3. A wants to reach the station 5 minutes earlier than the train time, so he must reach by 5:05 PM.

4. A takes 25 minutes to reach the station.

5. Therefore, the time to leave home = 5:05 PM - 25 minutes = 4:40 PM.

6. Now, convert 4:40 PM into the symbol format:
   - Hour hand at 4 → $
   - Minute hand at 8 (40 minutes) → @ (since @ means 8)

7. Hence, the time to leave is $@.

**Answer:** $@
