The apparent solar day on June 21 to 22 is approximately 24h00m13s.

However, this is a math problem if all the calculation parameters are provided, otherwise, the subject belongs more to astronomy.

Answer : Option 'b' is correct.

Explanation :

Since we know that the length of apparent solar day= 24 hours approximately

And the length of normal days = 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds

So, the approximate length of an apparent solar day from June 21, 2010 to June 22, 2010 will be 24 hours 0 minutes 4.1 seconds .

As we increase the length of normal days by 4 minutes .

So, Option 'b' is correct.
