1) Two clocks are set to show the correct time at 3:00 am. The clocks uniformly lose 3 minutes and 4 minutes respectively in an hour. If the clock which loses 3 minutes per hour shows the time as 8:42 a.m on the same day, then what time does the other clock show? A) 8:36 a.m. B) 8:30 a.m. C) 8:32 a.m. D) 8:34 a.m. E) 8:35 a.m. Answer: Option AExplanation:The clock which loses 3 minutes in an hour loses 18 ninutes in 6 hours. Hence, it shows 8:42 a.m. when the :orrect time was 9:00. In the same time, the other clock oses 6 x 4 = 24 minutes and hence it shows 8:36 a.m.
