A clock is set right at 5 a.m. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours.What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 p.m. on 4th day?

Correct Answer: 11pm

Explanation:

Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.


Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.


356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock


89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.


= 90 hrs of correct clock.


So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
