A clock shows the time as 9 a.m. If the minute hand gains 5 minutes every hour, how many minutes will the clock gain by 6 p.m.?

• If u mean watch is correct at 9 AM and at correct time of 6 PM, the clock will gain by 5*9=45 mins.
  it will show 6:45 PM at 6:00 PM.

• Answer is 40 min because if we start frm 9 am and 5 min gain after each hr den after 1 hr means at 10 am time will be 1005 am if we go through it till 540 so at 600 pm gain is only 40 min it is not mentioned that 6 pm is the correct time

• I guess it is 45 because we should include 9am too and eclude 6pm ,they havent asked how much min gained after 6pm.so the count will be 9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5.
  so 9*5=45 is the ans.any other solution plz correct me.

  minute hand gains 55 min over hr hand in 60 min
  so, in 60 min = gain of 55 min
  1 min=55/60 min gain
  9 am t0 6 pm =9 hrs= 9*60= 360 mins
  360 min= (55/60)*360= 30min

  Hrs b/w 9am to 5pm = 8hrs
  
  Ans = 8×5 = 40 min
