B. at 35 min. past 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

C. at 50 min. past 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

D. at 24 min. past 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

Correct Answer :

A. at 20 min. past 7 p.m. on Wednesday.


Time from 8 a.m. on Sunday to 8 p.m. on following Sunday = 7 days 12 hours = 180 hours


The watch gains (5 + 29/5) min. or 54/5 min. in 180 hrs.


Now 54/5 min. are gained in 180 hrs.


5 min. are gained in (180 x 5/54 x 5) hrs. = 83 hrs 20 min. = 3 days 11 hrs 20 min.


Watch is correct 3 days 11 hrs 20 min. after 8 a.m. of Sunday.


It will be correct at 20 min. past 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
