A watch was set accurately at 8.30am and then lost 2 seconds for every 5 minutes. What time was indicated on the watch at 6.30pm on the same day?
Answer:
6.26pm
Explanation:
As given the question, the watch will lost 2 seconds for every 5 minutes,
therefore, for 10min = 4 sec
20min = 8 sec
40min = 16 sec
60min (1 hour)= 24 sec
10 hours = 240 sec which is 4 min.
Therefore after 10 hours, 4 min delay will occur i.e at 6.30pm it will show 6.26pm.
