Solution

The correct option is B 2:00 pm

From 8 pm to 2:15 pm next day, total hours = 18 hours 15 min = 18 ¼ hours = 73/4 hours
6 min 5 sec of this clock = 6 min of correct clock
(6/60) + (5/3600), i.e. 73/720 hours of this clock = 1/10 hours of correct clock
73/4 hours of this clock = 1/10 × 720/73 × 73/4 = 18 hours
Means correct time was 18 hours after 8 pm i.e. 2 pm next day.

8 PM से अगले दिन 2:15 PM तक, कुल घंटे = 18 घंटे 15 मिनट = 18% घंटे = 734 घंटे
इस घड़ी के 6 मिनट 5 सेकण्ड = सही घड़ी के 6 मिनट
660+53600 अर्थात् इस घड़ी के 73720घंटे = सही घड़ी के 110 घंटे
इस घड़ी के 734 घंटे = 110×72073×734 = 18 घंटे
अर्थात् सही समय 8 PM के 18 घंटे बाद अर्थात् अगले दिन 2 PM को था।
