Clocks A and B are both set right at 12 noon. A gains 1 minute every hour and B gains 3 minutes every hour. When B is exactly 1 hour ahead of A, what time does A show?

  • A6:10
  • B6:30
  • C6:00
  • D7:30

Step-by-Step Solution

B pulls ahead of A by min each hour, so 1 hour apart takes 30 true hours: 6:00 p.m. the next day. A has gained 30 min by then, so it shows 6:30. (6:00 is the true time.)
Answer: B) 6:30
