Question: 6

How much does a watch gain or lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes?

  • Gain 92 min
  • Lose 9 min
  • Lose 34 (5/11) min
  • Lose 34 (5/11) min

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: D

None

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.
60 min. spaces are covered in (60/55 × 60) min = 65 5/11 min
Loss in 64 min = (65 5/11 - 64) = 16/11 min
Loss in 24 hrs= (16/11 × 1/64 × 24 × 60) min = 32 (8/11) min.
