(i) What does nine plus five equal to

Solution:

Eleven (11) plus two (2) equals to one (1), only when we are saying with respect to a clock. Let us see how.

In a clock, eleven hours is represented as 11:00 when two more hours are added, the 24-hour representation shows 13:00, which is nothing but 1 PM.

In this way, eleven plus two becomes one.

Similarly,

Nine hours is represented as 9:00, when five more hours are added, the 24-hour representation shows 14:00, which is nothing but 2 PM.

So, nine plus five equals to two.
