What time did the continuous rain stop yesterday?

(1) The continuous rain started at 6:30 am, yesterday, and it was seen continuous at 3 hours before it really stopped.

(2) The official weather report that came at 9:30 am, yesterday, announced, “Only 40 percent of today’s continuous rain is more to come”.

    I’m not sure I completely understand statement A (I think it says that the rain started at 6:30 and 3 hours later it was still pouring, it stopped at some unknown time after 3 hours). If I understand it right it’s insufficient. Statement B is clearly insufficient since we don’t know when the rain started, so the earlier 60% doesn’t mean anything.

    Together we know that 3 hours accounted for 60% of the rain, and since it’s continuous (which I’m guessing would mean it’s consistent over time, but I’m not entirely sure) you can expect it to stop in 2 hours, at 11:30. So I think the answer is C.

    It is given that the rain was seen continuous at 3 hours before it really stopped. So, if it was seen continuous till 11.30 AM, it must have stopped at 2.30 P.M.
