My watch had stopped at 10 o’clock.
In two minutes’ time it will be twice as many minutes short of 11 as it was past 10 o’clock 25 minutes ago.
What was the correct time?
10:36.
Explanation:
When I spoke, say it was x minutes after 10 o’clock – i.e, (60-x) minutes before 11 o’clock.
As per given information we can write the following equation;
58 – x = 2(x – 25)
58 – x = 2x – 50
3x = 108
Therefore;
x = 36
Therefore, the time was 10:36.
Pawan asks Kashish, 'It is 9 pm as per my watch right now. Do you know what will be the time 23, 999, 997 hours later?'
Kashish knows the answer. Do you ?
A clock was correct at midnight.
From that moment it began to lose two minutes per hour.
The clock stopped three hours ago showing 13:32.
The clock runs for less than 24 hours.
What is the correct time now?
A clock was correct at midnight. From that moment it began to lose four minutes per hour.
The clock stopped two and a half hours ago showing 10:16 am.
Your watch was correct at midnight and at that very moment, began to lose 16 1/2 minutes every hour. When you look at the clock it is showing quarter past seven in the morning, and has stopped. In fact it stopped two hours ago. What is the correct time?
Exactly how many minutes is it before seven o'clock, if 40 minutes ago it was three times as many minutes past two o'clock?
