          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: D) 60 minutes         
         
Explanation: For 1 hour, 20 minutes is slower, then for 
06 miuntes - 2 minutes is slower
30 minutes - 10 minutes
Actual time | false time
 12 12
 01 PM 12:40 PM (20 minutes slower)
 02 PM 01:20 PM 
 03 PM 02:00 PM
So, when actual time is 3pm, the false time is 2 pm.
So, it loses 60 minutes when it shows 2 pm.
