Question

A watch is getting slower by 2 minutes each hour. If it shows 1 pm now, what time will it show after 14 hours?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

After every 60 minutes the watch getting slower by 2

then what the time will show after 840 minutes?

= 840 × 2 / 60 ( applying Trinity )

= 84 × 2 / 6

= 28 minutes getting slower after 14 hours

1 + 14 = 15

= 3 am

3:00 hour - 28 minutes = 2:32 am.

so the time is next day early morning (midnight) 2:32 am.
