Clocks and Calendar - Faulty Clock
Faulty Clock Problems : A clock which gains or looses time as compared to correct clock is known as faulty clock. This happens because of the speed of the hands of the clock. A faulty clock gains or loses some minutes in a definite period of time.
For Example : Consider the case of a watch which gains 3 minutes every 2 hours.
If this watch is set at 8 O'clock, then by the time it is actually 10 o'clock, the watch will show 10 hours 3 minutes.
When the faulty clock shows the time to be 12 o'clock , the actual time will be a few minutes to 12.
Let us try to calculate the actual time in the case.
When the actual time elapsed is 2 hours the faulty clock will show 2 hour and 3 minutes on converting into hours we will divide by 60 mins
So, when the faulty watch shows 12 o'clock (i.e., 4 hours after the watch was set right), the actual time is
That is approx. 11 hours 54 minutes.
Illustration: A watch, which gains 5 seconds every 3 minutes, is set right at 8 : 00 am. In the afternoon same day, when the faulty watch indicates 5:15, the actual time is
A. 55 minutes past 5 B. 5 o'clock C. 60 minutes past 5 D. 58 minutes past 4
Answer: B
Solution: Actual time (t) : seconds
False time (T) = seconds
Watch time : 9 hours 15 minutes = seconds
The time was set at 8:00 am so adding 9 to 8:00 am we will get 5:00pm.
Hence the correct option is B

Students / Parents Reviews [20]
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
