Answer 2

Answer:

The clock gains 12 minutes in a day means it gains 12 minutes in 24 hours (24 x60=1,440 minutes).

The time gap between Thursday 7:10 am to Sunday 3:50 pm = 3 days 8 hours and 40 minutes

We can convert this in minutes,

3 days 8 hours and 40 minutes in minutes = (3 x24 x 60) + (8 x 60) + 40

                                                                       =  4840 minutes

Now we can solve this by the unitary method

If the clock gains 12 minutes in 1,440 minutes,

Then time gain by the clock in 1 minute = 12/1,440

Hence, Time gain by the clock in 4840 minutes = (12/1,440) x 4840

                                                                                = 40.33 minutes

The correct time will be 3:50 pm - 40 minutes = 3:10 pm
