Let the actual time be x hours.
Then the time in the watch is x*(1+5/60) hours.
Hours passed since 12 noon = 5
∴ x*(1+5/60) = 5
or, x*(60+5) = 5 * 60
or, x = 300/65 = 60/13
Actual time = 60/13 hrs
= 4 8/13 hrs
=4 hrs (8*60)/13 min
= 4:480/13

the watch gains 5 mins every hour
so after end of 1 hr the watch has gone 65 mins instead of 60 mins
so it travels 65 mins when it should have gone 60 mins
so it travels 60 mins(1hr) when it should have gone 60*60/65=55.38 mins
so after 5 hrs it goes 55.38*5=276.9mins
so actual time=276.9/60=4.61=4hr36min

65 min of 1st clock = 60 min of correct clock
5 hr of this clock = 60x5/65 of correct clock=60/13
correct time is 60/13 hr after 12 = 4:8/13=4:480/13
