Given,

A watch showed 5 minutes past 3 O'Clock on Sunday evening, when the correct time was 3 O'Clock. It loses uniformly and was observed to be 10 minutes slow on the subsequent Tuesday at 9 p.m.

54 / 15 = 3.6

∴ 3.6 × 5 = 18 hr

∴ The clock shows the correct time at 9 a.m. Monday.

Hence, the correct answer is 9 a.m. Monday.
