Q:

A watch which gains uniformly ,is 5 min,slow at 8 o'clock in the morning on sunday and it is 5 min 48 sec.fast at 8 p.m on following sunday. when was it correct?

A) 7pm on wednesday	B) 20 min past 7pm on wednesday
C) 15min past 7pm on wednesday	D) 8pm on wednesday

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 min past 7pm on wednesday

Explanation:

This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast. The watch gains $5+5\tfrac{48}{60}$ min in a time of (7×24)+12 = 180 hours.

To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.

$\frac{54}{5}min\rightarrow 180 \; hours$

$5\; min\rightarrow ?$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{\frac{54}{5}}\times 180$

$83\frac{1}{3}hrs =72hrs+11\frac{1}{3}hrs=3days+11hrs+20min$

So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM
