Answer 1

Answer:

12.24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

For every hour 10 minutes is lost.

Difference between 10AM and 5PM to the next day = 32 hours

Difference in minutes = 32 x 60 = 1920 minutes

Loss of 12mins/ hour = 12 x 32 = 384 minutes

When clock shows 5pm, actual time is 384 minutes ahead.

i.e 1920 + 384 = 2304 minutes

Converting to hour = 2304/60 = 38.4 hours

Converting decimal point to minutes = 0.4 x 60 = 24 minutes.

Thus actual time should be 38 hours:24 minutes ahead of 10AM

Hence, 12:24PM
