  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 7pm on wednesday
  • B. 20 min past 7pm on wednesday
  • C. 15min past 7pm on wednesday
  • D. 8pm on wednesday

  • 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
