A clock was set at right time at 7:00 am. It loses 3 minutes every hour. A man makes it correct at 12:00 noon. What is the real time when the clock shows 3:35 pm? Correct Answer 3:45 pm

When the clock shows 12:00 noon, it loses 15 minutes.

Thus, the man makes it correct to 12:15 pm.

From 12:15 pm to 3:15 pm, clock loses 9 minutes.

From 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm, clock loses 1 minute.

Therefore, total loss in time is 10 minutes.

Hence, when clock shows 3:35 pm, the real time is 3:35 pm + 10 minutes = 3:45 pm.
