On January 1st at 12:00 AM, the clock, which is 5% faster than a usual clock, was set to the correct time. When will the clock show the correct time again?
Solution
Since the clock goes 5% faster, it has to gain 12 hrs to show the correct time.
When one hour of normal time is completed, incorrect clock completes 63 mins.
So, the clock gains 3 mins in one hour. The time taken for the clock to gain 12*60 = 720 mins will be 720/3 = 240 hrs.
This is 10 days.
This means the clock shows correct time on 11th Jan 12:00 AM.
