Question : 87 of 110

Marks: +1, -0

A clock gains 10 minutes a day. The clock was corrected at 6:00 am. What will be the correct time when the clock shows 11:00 am following day?

Solution:

In 24 hours clock gain = 10 minutes.
In 1 hour clock gain =

{10}/{24}

minutes.
Time interval between 6:00 AM and 11:00 AM (following day)
= 24 + (11 – 6) = 29 hours
∴ Clock gain = 29 ×

{10}/{24}

~ 12 minutes
So, correct time 11:00 – 12 minutes = 10:48 AM.
