Question

a watch loses 5 minutes every hour and was set right at 6 a.m. on Monday.When will it show the correct time again? Explain it nicely pls.​

Answer 1

Answer:

clock will show the same time after 24 hours

since loss of 5 min in 1 hour

so loss of 60min(1 hr) in 12 hour

so loss of 24 hr in 12*24 hour=12 days

after loss of 24 hr it will again at 8 AM after 12 days

i.e at 8 AM on sunday

please mark as brainliest

Answer 2

See this question might look difficult but its a cake walk.

A watch is losing 5 mins per hour so it will lose 24 ×5 mins =120 mins/days or 2 hours per day .

Now its monday ,after six days it will be sunday.So by Sunday it would have lost 6×2 =12 hours

i.e. from 6 Am (set right) on Monday ...it will show 6am on Sunday again..which is the right time.
