A clock is set right at 6 a.m. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 p.m. on 4th day?      

A. 10 p.m.

B. 11 p.m.

C. 911 p.m.

D. 12 p.m.

Correct Answer :

B. 11 p.m.


     Time from 5 a.m. on a day to 10 p.m. on 4th day = 89 hours.


     Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.


     356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.


     89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.


                              = 90 hrs of correct clock.


     So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
