Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given above question , we can say that

In order to hear 12 strikes, there are 11 intervals (12 - 1) and time of each interval is uniform.

Hence, time to hear each strike is 22 = 2 seconds .

11

Now, to hear six strikes, there are ( 6 - 1) = 5

Total time to hear six strikes in 2 seconds = 5 × 2 = 10 seconds.

Hence, it will take 10 seconds for a clock to strike 6.
