OPtion

1) 21:53:26
2) 22:06:54
3) 21:56:24
4) 22:12:34
5) 22:10:58

7) 22:18:51
8) 21:12:34
9) 22:08:34
10) None of these

Solution

Given, clock looses 6 minutes in every 22 minutes.
⇒ When actual time is 22x60 sec=1320 sec, Clock shows (22x60-6) sec =1314 sec
Time between 22:06 hrs of today and tomorrow=24 hrs=24x3600 sec
.'. When clock shows 24x3600 sec, actual time=24x3600x(1320/1314)=86794.5205 sec
Now 86794.5205 sec=24 hrs 6 min 34 sec
⇒ Actual time is 6 min 34 sec ahead of 22:06 hrs i.e 22:12:34
