Correct Answer - Option 1 : 5:36 p.m.
A correct clock moves 24 × 60 = 1440 minutes in 24 hours.
Minutes taken by incorrect clock = 1440 + 10 = 1450.
Total hours from 8:00 a.m. on Monday to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday = 24 + 24 + 10 =58 hours
Total minutes from 8:00 a.m. on Monday to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday = 58 × 60 = 3480 minutes
Using unitary method, we get
If incorrect clock takes 1450 minutes then correct clock takes 1440 minutes.
If incorrect clock takes 1 minute then correct clock takes (1440 ÷ 1450) minutes.
If incorrect clock takes 3480 minutes then correct clock takes (1440 ÷ 1450) × 3480 = 3456 minutes.
Converting minutes into hours : 3456 ÷ 60 = 57 hours 36 minutes
Therefore, the correct time is 5:36 p.m.
Hence, 5:36 p.m. is the correct answer.
