A clock loses 6 minutes in one hour and set right at 6 AM. What is the actual time if the clock shows 11:24 AM? Correct Answer 12:00 noon

Losing 6 minutes in an hour is losing a minute in 10 minutes. So, 9 minutes in the clock = 10 minute in actual time.

And we are given from 6 AM to 11:24 AM which is 5 hours and 24 minutes or simply 324 minutes.

324 minutes in actual clock = 324 × 10/9 = 360 minutes or 6 hours.

So, 6 hours after 6 AM is 12 noon.

Hence, 12 noon is the correct answer.
