How much does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes?
A. $$32\frac{8}{{11}}$$ min.
B. $$36\frac{5}{{11}}$$ min.
C. 90 min.
D. 96 min.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & 55\,\min .\,{\text{spaces}}\,{\text{are}}\,{\text{covered}}\,{\text{in}}\,60\,\min \cr & 60\,\min .\,{\text{spaces}}\,{\text{are}}\,{\text{covered}}\,{\text{in}} \cr & = \left( {\frac{{60}}{{55}} \times 60} \right)\,\min . \cr & = 65\frac{5}{{11}}\,\min . \cr & {\text{Loss}}\,{\text{in}}\,64\,\min . \cr & = {65\frac{5}{{11}} - 64} = \frac{{16}}{{11}}\,\min . \cr & {\text{Loss}}\,{\text{in}}\,24\,hrs. \cr & = \left( {\frac{{16}}{{11}} \times \frac{1}{{64}} \times 24 \times 60} \right)\,\min. \cr & = 32\frac{8}{{11}}\,\min. \cr} $$This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Clock
It will gain time .
Clock is fast .
Because 64 is less than 65(5/11)
If the hands are coinciding earlier then shouldn't the watch gain instead of lose?
55 minutes spaces are covered in 60 minutes
Can't understand the line. Please, explain.
