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

    A) 11 p.m.         

    B)          10 p.m.

    C) 9 p.m.             

    D)          8 p.m.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        Time from 5 a.m. on a day to 10 p.m. on 4th day is 89 hours. Now, 23 hrs. 44 min. of this clock are the same as 24 hours of the correct clock. i.e., \[\frac{356}{15}\] hrs. of this clock = 24 hrs. of correct clock. \[\therefore \] 89 hrs. of this clock \[=\left( \frac{24\times 15}{356}\times 89 \right)\] hrs. of correct clock = 90 hrs of correct clock. So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
