In a watch, the
minute hand crosses the hour hand for the third time exactly after every
3 hrs 18 min 15 seconds of watch time. What is the time gained or lost
by this watch in one day?
In a correctly running watch, the crossing of hands should take place exactly after every (720/11) minutes. In this watch it takes after (3 hrs 18 min 15 seconds)/3 = 1 hour 6 min 5 sec = 66 (5/60) minutes of watch time. so, this watch loses time = 720/11 - [66 (5/60)] => 83/132 minutes in (720/11) minutes. so, in 1 day i.e 24* 60 minutes it will lose 83/6 minutes i.e. 13 min 50 second.

Question :
Two trains, 200 and
160 meters long take a minute to cross each other while traveling in
the same direction and take only 10 seconds when they cross in opposite
directions. What are the speeds at which the trains are traveling?
When the trains are moving in same direction (200+160)=(V1-V2)*60 When the trains are moving in opposite direction (200+160)=(v1+v2)*10 Equating we get v1=21m/s and v2=15m/s
