Question

Three clocks exist in a room:

The round clock is 10 minutes behind the actual time
The rectangular clock is 5 minutes after the actual time
The squared clock is 5 minutes slower than the round clock
The time now on the squared clock is 08:05, what is the time now on the rectangular clock?
08:25
08:20
08:15
08:30

Answer 1

First choice: 08:25

Explanation:

Squared Clock is 5 minutes slower than the round clock
since the round clock is 10 minutes behind actual time, square clod is 15 minutes behind actual time

Time on square clock = 8:05
So actual time = 8:05 + 15 = 8:20

Rectangular clock is 5 minutes ahead of actual time
So time on rectangular clock is 8:20 + 05 = 8:25

Answer: First choice: 08:25
