Step-by-step explanation:

clock loosed 12 minutes in 48 hr

12 minutes in 48* 60 minutes

1 minute in 240 minute

so clock display 239 minutes after 240 minute

to display 6:00 PM next day clock to display 26 hrs = 26*60 = 1560 minutes

239 minutes displayed in 240 minutes

1 minute displayed in 240/239

1560 min displayed in (240/239)*1560 minutes = 1566.53 minutes

True time would be 6.53 minutes extra than displayed time

True time = 6 Hr 6 min 32 Sec PM
