Answer 1

Here is your answer dear☺☺



As the clock gains 15 minutes in 24 hours,

Total hours passed through 12 noon to 4 am = 16 hours.

In 24 hours, the clock gains minutes = 15 minutes

In 1 hour, the clock will gain minutes = 15/24

In 16 hours, the clock will gain minutes = $\frac{15×16}{24}$

= $\frac{240}{24}$

= 10 minutes.

So, at 4 AM the clock will show 4 :10 AM
