Question

This clock is 15 minutes slow. What is the correct time?

• A. 3:15
• B. 4:15
• C. 3:10
• D. 4:10

Answer 1

The correct option is D

4:10

The time shown on the clock is 3:55. It is slow by 15 minutes.

Hence, correct time is 4:10.

Alternate Method:
5 + 5 + 5 = 15 minutes.

$HM3:55\underset{–}{+15}\underset{–}{3:70}$

60 minutes = 1 Hour

3:70 = 3 + 60 minutes + 10 minutes
= 3 hour + 1 hour + 10 minutes
= 4 hrs 10 minutes

Hence, the correct time is 4:10.
