A clock is set right at 5am the clock loses 16min in 24 hours. What will be the right time when the clock indicates 10am? On the 4th day?
Answer: Option 'B'
Time from 5am. On a day to 10pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.
Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
365/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
89 hrs of this clock = ( 24 × 15/356 × 89) hrs of correct clock
= 90 hrs of correct clock.
So, the correct time is 11pm.

Answer: Option 'A'
At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to
gain 55min. spaces are gained in 60min.
4min. spaces are gained in (60/55 × 40) min. = 43 7/11min.
Required time = 43 7/11min.past 5.

How much does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes?
Answer: Option 'A'
55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.
60 min spaces are covered in (60/55 × 60)min = 65 5/11 min
Loss in 64 min = ( 65 5/11- 64 ) = 16/11 min
Loss in 24 hrs = ( 16/11 × 1/64 × 24 × 60 ) min
= 32 8/11 min
