Correct Question

A clock is set right at 8 am, the clock uniformly losses 24 min a day. What will be right time when the clock indicates 4 pm on the next day?

Answer:

When the clock indicates 4 pm on the next day the right time will be 4.30 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A clock is set right at 8 am.

The clock uniformly losses 24 min a day.

The clock indicates 4 pm on the next day.

To Find:

When the clock indicates 4 pm on the next day the right time.

Solution:

As given,A clock is set right at 8 am.The clock indicates 4 pm on the next day.

 Time from 8 am to 4 pm on the following day is 32 hours.

As given-The clock uniformly losses 24 min a day.

Now 23 hours 36 minutes of the clock = 24 hours of correct clock  

 $23\frac{36}{60} \ hours$ of the clock = 24 hours of correct clock  

 $(23+\frac{3}{5} ) \ hours$ of the clock = 24 hours of correct clock                

 $(\frac{118}{5 } ) \ hours$ of the clock = 24 hours of correct clock  

Therefore, 32 hours of this clock $=\frac{24}{(\frac{118}{5}) } \times32 \ hours$ of correct clock  

                                                         $=\frac{24\times5\times32}{118 } \ hours$  of correct clock  

                                                        $=\frac{3840}{118} \ hours$ of correct clock

                                                         $=32.54\ hours$ of correct clock

                                                        $=32\ hours\ 30\ minutes\ (approx.)$ of           correct clock

So correct time is 32 hours 30 minutes (approx.)

Thus,when the clock indicates 4 pm on the next day the right time will be 4.30 pm.
