Question

A watch loses 5 minutes every hour and was set right at 6 a.M on a monday. When will it show the correct time again?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: After 12 days

Answer 2

Answer= Sunday 6 am

the clock loses 5 mins in 1 hour

so,

5 mins------ 1 hour

x mins------- 24 hours = 1 day

x= 24* 5= 120 min= 2 hours,

so the clock loses 2 hrs in 1 day

we know that the clock would show the same time after every 12 hours

in x days, the clock should gain 12 hours

implies that x= 120/2=6 days

so, 6 days from monday 6 am = sunday 6 am
