Clocks & Calendars:A clock is set right at 6 a.m. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 p.m. on 4th day?

12 am

06 am

11 p.m.

10 p.m.

Explanation:

Time from 5 a.m. on a day to 10 p.m. on 4th day = 89 hours.

Now 23 hrs. 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.

356/15 hrs. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.

89 hrs. of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs. of correct clock.

= 90 hrs. of correct clock.

So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
