2880717 mins = 48011 hrs 57 mins = 2000 days 11 hrs 57mins
We can simply ignore the days part.
So simply what was the time 11 hrs 57 mins earlier.
11 hr 57 mins = 12 hrs minus 3 mins
Since 12-hour time format is being used, 12 hrs before 6:27 time was still 6:27.
We just need to add those 3 mins back that we substracted just above
So, 6:27 + 3mins = 6:30
Hence, Answer is D
