Correct answer: B. 11 P.M.रात्रि 11 बजे
Explanation
From 5 A.M. of day 1 to 10 P.M. of day 4 the clock shows 3 days 17 hours = 89 hours = 5340 minutes. The faulty clock shows only 24 h − 16 min = 1424 minutes for every 1440 true minutes. True time = 5340 × 1440 ÷ 1424 = 5400 minutes = 90 hours. Adding 90 hours to 5 A.M. gives 11 P.M. on the 4th day, so the true time is 11 P.M.पहले दिन प्रातः 5 बजे से चौथे दिन रात्रि 10 बजे तक घड़ी 3 दिन 17 घंटे = 89 घंटे = 5340 मिनट दिखाती है। दोषपूर्ण घड़ी प्रत्येक 1440 वास्तविक मिनटों में केवल 24 घंटे − 16 मिनट = 1424 मिनट दिखाती है। सही समय = 5340 × 1440 ÷ 1424 = 5400 मिनट = 90 घंटे। प्रातः 5 बजे में 90 घंटे जोड़ने पर चौथे दिन रात्रि 11 बजे प्राप्त होता है, अतः सही समय रात्रि 11 बजे है।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
