Question

My watch gains 2 minutes in every 24 hours. If I put it right at 10 a.m. on Monday, what time will it show at 10 p.m. the same night? What time will it show at 10 a.m. on Tuesday? What time will it show at 10 a.m. on Wednesday? What time will it show at 10 a.m. on the following Monday?​

Answer 1

If your watch gains 2 minutes in every 24 hours, it means it gains 1 minute every 12 hours.

At 10 p.m. on Monday (12 hours later), your watch will show 10:02 p.m.

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday (24 hours later), your watch will show 10:02 a.m.

At 10 a.m. on Wednesday (48 hours later), your watch will show 10:04 a.m.

At 10 a.m. on the following Monday (7 days later), your watch will show 10:14 a.m. (since your watch gains 14 minutes in 7 days, which is 1 minute per 12 hours).
