Q:

What time will it be 18 hours from now in India, if in the USA it is 4:15 AM?

(Hint : IST = US + 9:30 hrs)

A) 1:45 in the afternoon B) 7:45 in the evening
C) 7:45 in the next morning D) 1:45 in the next morning
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7:45 in the next morning

Explanation:

We know that the time difference between India and USA is 9 hrs 30 min.

India is 9:30 hrs ahead of USA.

Time in India = 4:15 + 9:30 = 13:45 PM.

Required Time after 18 hrs = 13:45 + 18 hrs = 7:45 AM.

 

Hence it is 7:45 AM on the next morning.

Q:

A watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes and was set right at 8 AM. What time will it show at 10 PM on the same day ?

A) 10 : 27 : 41 AM B) 8 : 51 : 04 AM
C) 9 : 45 : 15 PM D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Explanation:

The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.

From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.

In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds.

So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM
