- A3:32 p.m.
- B3:36 p.m.
- C3:04 p.m.
- D2:24 p.m.
Step-by-Step Solution
From 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. is 9 hours of true time. Gaining 4 minutes in each of those hours means the clock runs minutes ahead, so it shows 3:36 p.m. The traps: 3:32 p.m. comes from counting only 8 hours, 3:04 p.m. from adding the 4 minutes just once, and 2:24 p.m. from treating a gaining clock as a losing one.
Answer: B) 3:36 p.m.
