B. 1.40 am

C. 12.10 am

D. 12.10 pm

Answer : A. 1.10 am

Explanation:

  • Let us start from Monday 10 am to friday 3.00 pm , total hours = 4 days 5 hrs(4*24+5 = 101 hrs).
  • Clock lose per hour = 6 min, so total time loses is 101 * 6minutes = 606 minutes (10 hrs 10 minutes ).
  • So actual time = Friday 3.00 pm + 10 hrs 10 minutes = saturday 1.10 am.
