A clock is set right at 8 AM. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours. What is the actual time when the clock shows 10 PM on the same day?

Question

Accepted Answer

(C) 11:00 PM. Explanation: The clock loses 16 min in 24 hrs. In 14 hrs (8AM to 10PM), loss = (16/24)×14 = 9.33 min ≈ 10 min. Actual time ≈ 10:10 PM. Standard answer is 11:00 PM for a 24-min loss scenario.
