Question 30

A watch gains 7 seconds in 4 minutes and is correctly set at 10:00 AM. What time will it show at 11:00 PM on the same day?

It is given that the watch gains 7 seconds in 4 minutes => 105 seconds in 60 minutes (1hr). From 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM on the same day, the time is 13 hours.

In 13 hours,  the watch will gain (105*13) = 1365 seconds => 22 minutes 45 seconds. Therefore, the watch will show 11:22:45 PM

The correct option is B.
