My watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 7 am. In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicates quarter past 4 O’clock, the true time is:
-
-
59 7 minutes past 3 12 -
12 3 minutes past 3 11 - 4 pm
-
7 5 minutes past 4 12

Correct Option: C
As we know that ,
From 7 am to 4 :15 pm, the time is 9 hours 15 minutes, i.e., [( 9 x 60 )+ 15 ] = 555 minutes
Now, | minutes of this watch = 3 minutes of correct watch. | 12 |
∴ 1 minutes of this watch = | ![]() | ![]() | minutes on a correct watch | 37 |
⇒ 555 minutes of this watch = | ![]() | x 555 | ![]() | minutes on a correct watch | 37 |
= 540 minutes or 9 hours of correct watch
∴ Correct time after 7 am is 4 pm.
Hence , the true time is 4 pm .
