Multiple choice

I purchased some clocks from a second hand goods store. There were some problems in them. When the actual time passed 1 hour, the wall clock was 10 minutes behind it. When 1 hour was shown by the wall clock, the table clock showed 10 minutes ahead of it. When table clock showed 1 hour, the alarm clock was 5 minutes behind it. When alarm clock showed 1 hour, the wrist watch was 5 minutes ahead of it. Assuming that all clocks are correct with actual time at 12 noon, what will be shown by the wrist watch after 6 hours?

  1. 4:38 pm

  2. 5:15 pm

  3. 5:36 pm

  4. 5:47 pm

  5. 6:47 pm

Explanation

Wall clock: 1h actual = 50m wall. Table clock: 1h wall = 70m table. Alarm clock: 1h table = 55m alarm. Wrist watch: 1h alarm = 65m wrist. After 6 hours actual time: Wall = 6 * 50 = 300m. Table = 300 * (70/60) = 350m. Alarm = 350 * (55/60) = 320.83m. Wrist = 320.83 * (65/60) = 347.5m = 5h 47.5m. 12:00 + 5h 47.5m = 5:47 pm.
