Detailed Solution

Concept- To solve this problem, convert the hours to minutes and find the time when the Kolkata-Delhi train arrives in Delhi accordingly. The conversion takes place 24 hours a day.
We know that 1a day is equivalent to 24 hours
Now we know that the total travel time is 24 hours and 25 minutes. Therefore, you need to know that the time will return to the original time after one day (24 hours). Therefore, we can conclude that after 24 hours, we will return to 18:30 the next day. 25 minutes left. We know that we can add 25 to 30, so

Therefore, the end time is 18:55.
Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
