Answer 1

Answer:

second tablet at 8.0 am

third tablet at 12.0 pm

fourth tablet at 4.0 pm

fifth table at 8.0 pm

sixth tablet at 12.0 am

Answer 2

Answer:

The patient would have taken all the tablets on next day at 12 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tablets is 6

The doctor instructed the patient to take one tablet every 4 hours

If the patient took the first tablet at 4 a.m, then the time at which he took the 2nd tablet is 4 a.m + 4 hours = 8 a.m

Similarly.

For 3rd tablet, 8 a.m + 4 hours = 12 p.m

For 4th tablet, 12 p.m + 4 hours = 4 p.m

For 5th tablet, 4 p.m + 4 hours = 8 p.m

For 3rd tablet 8 p.m + 4 hours = 12 a.m

Therefore, the patient would have taken all the tablets on next day at 12 a.m
