ಉತ್ತರ ತೋರಿಸು ಮತ್ತು ವಿವರಣೆ
ಉತ್ತರ: (A) 10:48 a.m.
ವಿವರಣೆ
The clock runs 1450 minutes for every 1440 true minutes; 1740 clock minutes = 1728 true minutes = 28 h 48 min.
- (A) ಸರಿ
Correct: 29 clock-hours = 29 × 1440/1450 true hours = 28 h 48 min; 6 a.m. + 28 h 48 min = 10:48 a.m.
- (B) ತಪ್ಪು
Wrong: the gain is proportional, not a flat 10 minutes.
- (C) ತಪ್ಪು
Wrong: miscalculated.
- (D) ತಪ್ಪು
Wrong: far too early.
- (E) ತಪ್ಪು
Wrong: only one of the options A–D is correct.
