The complete worked solution.
Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
Arriving 15 minutes before 8:30 means reaching at 8:15. This time is also half an hour earlier than the man who was 40 minutes late. Therefore, the man arrived at 8:45 (8:15 + 30 minutes). Since the man was 40 minutes late, the scheduled time of the meeting is 8:45 minus 40 minutes, which is 8:05.
Final Answer: Option B - 08:05 hours
