#Quantability

The document describes a word problem involving two clocks that gain or lose time at different rates. The first clock gains 3 minutes every 12 hours, while the second loses 6 minutes every 36 hours. They are both set to 12:00 PM on September 15, 2013. To determine when they will next show the same time, we calculate the rates of time change and set their total changes equal to one full day (720 minutes). Solving this equation reveals the clocks will next show 12:00 PM on November 26, 2013.

None of these Sol: [b] Use TSD relative speed. Distance is always 1 rotation or 360 degree of 12 hour or 720 min. Gain and Loss addition due to opposite direction Loss and loss or gain and gain - subtraction due to same direction. for this question 1st clock gains T/4 min in T hr, 2nd clock gains T/6 min in T hr to show same time T/4 + T/6 = 720, T = 72*24 hours i.e 72 days #CAT2013 #Target_CAT_13 Question 395
