Question

A watch, which gains uniformly, is 3 minutes slow at noon on Monday and is 5 minutes 48 seconds fast at 4 p.m. on the following Monday. What time it was correct ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if the question says 8 pm the answer will come good.

so total hours woul be 7x24+8=176( 176 x 60 min

total time gained = 180 + 348 = 528 sec

176 x 60/528= 20 so in every 20 min 1 sec will be gained.. so to gain 180 sec we need 20 x 180/60= 60 hrs..after 60 hrs the time will be correct..so 12 pm + 60 hrs = 12 am Thursday
