  • Question
  • There is a clock which shows false timing ie it shows 20 minutes less for each 1 hour. If the clock shows 12 noon now how many minutes will be lost when it shows 2 pm ?


  • Options
  • A. 36 minutes
  • B. 48 minutes
  • C. 35 minutes
  • D. 60 minutes

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 minutes 

    Explanation

    For 1 hour, 20 minutes is slower, then for
    06 miuntes - 2 minutes is slower
    30 minutes - 10 minutes
    Actual time | false time
    12 12
    01 PM 12:40 PM (20 minutes slower)
    02 PM 01:20 PM
    03 PM 02:00 PM

    So, when actual time is 3pm, the false time is 2 pm.
    So, it loses 60 minutes when it shows 2 pm.

    • 5. Logical puzzle You work at a fruit factory. There are 3 crates in front of you. One crate contains only apples. One crate contains only oranges. The other crate contains both apples and oranges. And each crate is labeled. One reads "apples", one reads "oranges", and one reads "apples and oranges". But the labeling machine has gone crazy and is now labeling all boxes incorrectly. If you can only take out and look at just one of the pieces of fruit from just one of the crates, how can you label ALL of the crates correctly?
