A watch loses 5 minutes every hour. It is set right at 8 a.m. What time will it show at 3 p.m. the same day ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: 2:25 p.m.
From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. is 7 true hours, and the watch loses 5 minutes in each of them.
\[\text{Total loss} = 7 \times 5 = 35 \text{ minutes}\]
The watch therefore reads 35 minutes behind the true time, showing 2:25 p.m. when the correct time is 3 p.m.
