A watch which gains uniformly ,is 5 min,slow at 8 o'clock in the morning on sunday and it is 5 min 48 sec.fast at 8 p.m on following sunday. when was it correct?

Correct Answer: 20 min past 7pm on wednesday

Explanation:

This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast.  The watch gains  5 + 5 48 60  min in a time of  (7×24)+12 = 180 hours. 


 


To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.


 


54 5 m i n 180 h o u r s


5min ->


5 54 2 × 180


 


83 1 3 h r s = 72 h r s + 11 1 3 h r s = 3 d a y s + 11 h r s + 20 m i n


 


So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM
