Three clocks were set to true time.First run exact time.second slows one per day.third gains one min per day.After how many days they will show true time
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- the 3 clocks will show same time, when the slower watch becomes exactly 12 hrs behind n faster becomes exactly 12 hrs ahead
now 12 hrs = 720 min
these watches gain n lose 1 min per day...
so all three clocks will show true time after 720 days - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(4)
- since given 1 clock gain 1 min / day so after 720 days its time will get match with exact time clock......But when we consider another clock which slows 1 sec /day it will get match with exact clock time after 50400 days.
In order to match time of three clock , in my opinion after 50400 days thrice of clock will show correct answer. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- All the three clocks will show the true time when one faulty clock which losses 1 min/day will be 12 hours behind the correct time and the one faulty clock which gains 1 min/day will be 12 hours ahead of the true time.
Total minutes in 12 hours = 12 × 60 = 720 minutes
Hence, the number of days required = 720 days - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
