The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine what time the Watch India Corporation's wristwatch will show after 3 hours have passed since it was set at 12:00 noon, given that the minute hand completes one full rotation in 12 minutes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Watch's Mechanism**: - The minute hand of the watch completes one full rotation (360 degrees) in 12 minutes. - This means that in 12 minutes, the minute hand moves to the 12 o'clock position again. 2. **Calculate the Speed of the Minute Hand**: - Since the minute hand completes one full rotation in 12 minutes, in 60 minutes (which is 1 hour), it will complete: \[ \text{Number of rotations in 60 minutes} = \frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = 5 \text{ rotations} \] - Therefore, the minute hand completes 5 hours in 1 hour of real time. 3. **Determine the Time Interval**: - We are interested in the time from 12:00 noon to 3:00 PM, which is a total of 3 hours. 4. **Calculate the Effective Time on the Watch**: - If 1 hour of real time corresponds to 5 hours on this watch, then in 3 hours of real time: \[ \text{Effective time on the watch} = 3 \text{ hours} \times 5 = 15 \text{ hours} \] 5. **Determine the Time Shown by the Watch**: - Starting from 12:00 noon, if we add 15 hours: - 12:00 noon + 12 hours = 12:00 midnight (next day) - Then, adding the remaining 3 hours gives us: \[ 12:00 midnight + 3 \text{ hours} = 3:00 AM \] - Therefore, the watch will show 3:00 AM. ### Final Answer: The time shown by the Watch India Corporation's wristwatch at 3:00 PM on the same day will be **3:00 AM**. ---
