Answer : 4. "10 : 23 : 20 PM"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Answer : 3. "15 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 15 days Explanation: We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2 Efficiency ratio of P & Q as P:Q = 2:1 ....(1) Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as Q:R = 3:1 ....(2) From (1) & (2), we get P:Q:R = 6:3:1 P alone can finish the work in 22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.
