A watch loses 2 minutes in every 24 while another watch gains 2 minutes, in 24 hours. At a particular instant, the two watches showed an identical time. Which of the following statements is correct if 24- hour clock is
(d) None of the above statements correct.
A watch loses 2 minutes in every 24 hours, while another watch gains 2 minutes in every 24 hours. Hence, every day the time difference between the two watches will keep on increasing by 4 minutes. They will again show the same identical time when this difference increases to 24 hours, i.e. 24 × 60 minutes. Now, for the difference to increase by 4 minutes it takes 1 day For the difference to increase by 24 × 60 minutes it will take (1/4) × 24 × 60 days = 6 × 60 days = 360 days
