Question

A clock is set right at 8 am. The clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the right time when the clock indicates 1 pm on following day?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Time from 8 a.m. on a day 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.

24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.

145 /6 hrs of this clock = 24 hrs of the correct clock

29 hrs of this clock = (24 x 6/145 x 29) hrs of the correct clock = 28 hrs 48 min. of correct clock

The correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m.

This is 48 min. past 12.
