There is a clock which shows false timing, i.e., it shows 20 minutes less for each 1 hour. If the clock shows 12 noon now, how many minutes will be lost when it shows 2 PM?
Correct Answer: C — 60 minutes
Explanation:
The correct answer is 60 minutes. The clock loses 20 minutes every real hour. For the clock to show 2 PM (2 hours ahead on its face), 3 real hours must pass. In 3 real hours, 3 × 20 = 60 minutes are lost.
