Question

A clock is set right at 05:00 A.M. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10:00 P.M. on the fourth day?

• A. 01:00 P.M.
• B. 02:00 P.M.
• C. 11:00 P.M.
• D. 12:00 P.M.

Hint:

When solving time-related problems, calculate the total loss or gain over a given period to determine the actual time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The clock loses 16 minutes every 24 hours. In 4 days, it will have lost 64 minutes. Therefore, when the clock shows 10:00 P.M., the actual time will be 11:00 P.M.
