A clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours. It is set right at 8 a.m. on Monday. What will it show at 8 a.m. on the following Monday ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: 9:10 a.m.
From one Monday to the next is exactly 7 days.
\[\text{Total gain} = 7 \times 10 = 70 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour } 10 \text{ minutes}\]
Running ahead by that amount, the clock shows 9:10 a.m. when the true time is 8 a.m.
