A clock is set right at 10 a.m. on Monday. The clock loses 15 min. in 24 hrs. What will be the true time when the clock indicates 4 am on the following Saturday?
From 10 am on 1st day to 4 am on 5th day is total 114 hours. When a clock loses 15 min, then 23 hours 45 min of this clock are the same as 24 hours of correct clock i.e. 95/4 hours of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock. 95/4 hours of this clock =((24×4/95)×114) hours of correct clock = 115.2 hours of correct clock which is equal to 115 hours 12 minThe correct time is 5:12 am.
