Two clocks are being tested against a standard clock located in a national laboratory At 12 : 00 : 00 noon by standard clock, the readins of the two clocks are {:("Day","Clock - I","Clock - II"),("Monday",12:00:05,10:15:06),("Tuesday",12:01:15,10:14:59),("Wednesday",11:59:08,10:15:18),("Thursday",12:01:50,10:15:07),("Thursday",12:01:50,10:15:07),("Friday",11:59:15,10:14:53),("Saturday",12:01:30,10:15:24),("Sunday",12:01:19,10:15:11):} From the Observations carefully read the following conclusive statements. Statement I : Zero - error in clock II is much longer than zero - error in clock I. Statement II : Zero - error can always be corrected by applying necessary corrective measures Statement III : Precision of clock - I is more than precision of clock - II Statement IV : Precision of clock - II is more than precision of clock - I Pick up the correction option from the following.

Being a punctual man, the lift operator of a skyscraper hung an exact pendulum clock on the lift wall to know the end of the working day. The lift moves with an upward and downward accelerations during the same time (according to a stationary clock), the magnitudes of the accelerations remaining unchanged. Will the operator finish his working day in time, or will he work more (less) than required?
