A watch is 1 minute slow at 1 pm on Tuesday and 2 minutes fast at 1 pm on Thursday. When did it show the correct time = ? Correct Answer 5 : 00 am on Wednesday

Time from 1 pm on Wednesday to 1 pm on Thursday = 48 hours
So, the watch gains (1 + 2) minute or 3 minutes in 48 hours.
Now, 3 minutes are gained in 48 hours
So, 1 minute is gained in $$\left( {\frac{{48}}{3}} \right)$$   = 16 hours.
Thus, the watch showed the correct time 16 hours after 1 pm on Tuesday, i.e., 5 am on Wednesday
