Question 59

A watch is a minute slow at 1 p.m. on Tuesday and 2 minutes fast at 1 p.m. on Thursday. When did it show the correct time ?

Solution

A watch is a minute slow at 1 p.m. on Tuesday and 2 minutes fast at 1 p.m. on Thursday.

So the watch gains 3 minutes in 48 hours.

It will show the exact time when it would have gained 1 minute from the initial state.

1/3=x/48

x=16 hours.

i.e at 5:00 am Wednesday
