The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Determine Q's arrival time. P arrived at \[ 10:10\text{ am} \] P was 20 minutes later than Q. Hence Q arrived at \[ 10:10-20=9:50\text{ am} \]
Step 2: Use the condition regarding the schedule. Q came 30 minutes before the interview. Therefore, \[ \text{Interview time} = 9:50+30 \] \[ =10:20\text{ am} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{10:20\text{ am}} \]
