Answer:

5:30 p.m.

Explanation:

The red line stops every 5 min.

The green line stops every 6 min.

We need the lowest common multiple of these numbers: 30 min.

In that time, the red line bus will have made six trips and the green line bus will have made five.

If it's 5:00 p.m. right now, the two buses will leave at the same time

at 5:30 p.m.
