Answer:

The next day will be in the march month in which it will show the correct time.

Explanation:

Number of seconds in a day = 24 × 60 × 60

= 86400 seconds

As clock loses 1 seconds in every 5 minutes , the time after which it looses 1 day(86400 sec) is 86400 × 5

⇒ 432000 minutes


(432000)/(60) hours

⇒ 7200 hours


(7200)/(24)

⇒ 300 days

The 300th day after 7th may will lie in next march
