The time 1700hrs is equivalent to which of the following?

In military time notation, 1700 hours represents the end of the 17th hour of the day. The 24-hour clock format is used in this system, where hours are numbered from 00 to 23. To convert military time to the standard 12-hour clock format, the hour can be adjusted by subtracting 12 from any hour greater than 12.

In this case, you take 1700 hours and subtract 1200, which gives you 5:00. The designation "hrs" or "hours" indicates that it is the afternoon, so 1700 hours translates directly to 5:00 PM in the 12-hour clock format. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed 5:00 PM.
