Question

A clock gains 10 minutes in 2 hours. It is set right at 10:10 a.m. When the clock shows 4:40 pm on the

same day, what is the correct time?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 4:10

Step-by-step explanation:

as the clock gains 10 min every 2 hours

so 4:40 - 30 min

as tere are 6hours between 10:00 to 4:00 so the answer is 4: 10

the last one is 4:10=4:40

Answer 2

So the clock is set right at 10 : 10 am. Since the clock runs 10 minutes more in 2 hours, the clock shows 12 : 20 pm at the real time 12 : 10 pm.

Well, 4 : 10 pm is 6 hours, i.e., 2 × 3 hours, after 10 : 10 pm. Here the clock runs 10 × 3 = 30 minutes more, so the clock shows 4 : 40 pm at the real time 4 : 10 pm.
