Answer 2

Given:

• Clock A shows the time as $12:20$ and runs like a normal clock.
• Clock B shows the time as $5:58$ and runs in anticlockwise direction.

To find:

• After how many hours and minutes both the clock A and clock B shows the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We know that initially clock A shows a time as $12:20$.
• And on the other hand we know that clock B shows a time as $5:58$.
• After one hour the clock A shows the time as $1:20$ since clock A runs forward like a normal clock.
• And after one hour the clock B shows the time as $4:58$ since clock B runs backwards like a reverse clock.
• Now let us see what time will appear on clock A and clock B after two hours.
• After two hours the clock A shows the time as $2:20$.
• After two hours the clock B shows the time as $3:58$.
• Now let us add forty-nine minutes to both the clock A and B simultaneously.
• After two hours and forty-nine minutes the clock A shows the time as $3:09$.
• After two hours and forty-nine minutes the clock B shows the time as $3:09$.

Final answer:

• Therefore after $2$ $hours$ $and$ $49$ minutes both the clock A and clock B shows the same time at $3:09$.
