Answer: 11am

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to calculate the lowest common multiple of 20 and 30. This will be:

20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100

30 = 30, 60, 90, 120, 150.

Here, the lowest common multiple is 60.

Therefore, we add 60 minutes to 10am. This will be:

= 10am + 1 hour

= 11 am

The next time that both buses leave at the same time would be 11am
