Answer 1

Answer:

Time gain or loss is a continuous process. A clock when gains time, means it is running fast. Gaining one minute in one hour, means, it covers 61 minutes in true time of 60 minutes.

Now, the question-

Time (in minutes) travelled from 1 pm to 6 pm = 5 × 60 = 300 minutes.

True time for this travel = (300 ×60) ÷ 61

= 295.0819 minutes = 4 hrs 55 minutes 4 seconds 918 milliseconds

i.e. 5 hr 55 min 4 sec 918 msec PM.
