Question

A clock, which loses 5 minutes per day, is set to show the correct time at 12 noon on a Sunday. What time does the clock show at 12 noon on the next Sunday?

• A. 11 a.m.
• B. 12 noon
• C. 11.35 a.m.
• D. 11.25 a.m.
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

11.25 a.m.

The clock loses $5$ minutes per day
in 7 days, time lost $=5\times 7=35mins$
actual time $={12}^{\prime }oclock$,
time shown $12-35=11:25a.m.$
