- 5am---5am---5am---5am---10am
24 + 24 + 24 + 5 = 77hours
23hr 44min of this clock = 24hr of true clock
356/15 hr of this clock = 24 hr of true clock
1 hr of this clock= 24*15/356 hr of true clock
77 hr of this clock = (24*15*77)/356 of true clock ~ equals to 77.8651
Therefor .8651 * 60 =51.9min
10+51.9 = 10.52 am

- take unitery method
24 hour = lose 16 min
1 hour = lose 16/24min
then 77 hour =lose 16*77/24 min====51.33
so correct time is 10:51:33

- Loses 16 min in a day means correct will be 24*60-16=1440 min
So ratio 16:1440=1:89
So if correct time needed is 101 then losed time=101/89
So ans=10+101/89= 11:08 am - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Every day its loses 16 mins means in 24 hrs..so at the first day its already set at 5 am. So remaining hours is (24-5=19) hrs..
In 19 hrs it loses (16/24*19=12.67 mins.)
After two days its loses 2*16=32 mins..
Now we are on the 4th day..on the 4 the it was 10 am..so at that it loses (16/24*10=6.67 mins)..
So that total lose =12.67+32+6.67=51.34 mins..
So exact time is (10-51.34)=9 hr 8 mins 26 secs.. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- Sorry the ans is (10+51.34)=10:51 a.m.

- For 4day it lose 16*4=64
10hr-1hr 4min=8:56am - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(7)
- for every day it looses=16 min
from 1st to 3rd day loss of time=16*3=48
on 4th day 10 am =(16/24)*10=6.66666
so,total number of losing time=48+6.666=54.6666
so,at 10 o clock =10 hrs-54.666 min/10+54.666
=9.546 min /10.546

- on the 4day it lose 16*4=64 min.
10hr-1hr 4min=8:56am - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 10:48am for 3 days completed=3*16=48min
on 4th day time is 10am :i.e it loses 48 min so correct time is 10:48am - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- its 11hrs,11 mnts,32 secs

- 5--5---5--5----10am;
total late in three day== 16*3==48min.
total late in one day==16 min.so late in 1 min.==16/(24*60)==.01111;
so in 5 hour==.0111*5*60=3.333;
then exact time==10.52min. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 11.04am...............(16 X 4)=64mins...

- 4day*16+5hour*16/24=67.33 min
10am+1hour7 1/3 min
11am 7 min 33sec - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
