    A) \[11:00\text{ }p.m.\]  

    B)        \[10:00\text{ }p.m.\]

    C) \[9:00\text{ }p.m.\]         

    D)        \[8:00\text{ }p.m.\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [a] is correct. Time from 5:00 a.m. on a day to 10:00 p.m. on 4th day is 89 hours. Now, 23 hrs. 44 min. of this clock are the same as 24 hours of the correct clock. i.e., \[\frac{356}{15}\]hrs. of this clock = 24 hrs of correct clock. \[\therefore \] 89 hrs. of this clock \[=\left( \frac{24\times 15}{356}\times 89 \right)\] hrs. of correct clock = 90 hrs of correct clock. So, the correct time is 11:00 p.m.
