Answer 1

Answer:

The next day will be in the march month in which it will show the correct time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of seconds in a day = 24 × 60 × 60

                                                = 86400 seconds

As clock loses 1 seconds in every 5 minutes , the time after which it looses 1 day(86400 sec) is 86400 × 5

                 ⇒ 432000 minutes

                 ⇒$\frac{432000}{60}$ hours

                ⇒ 7200 hours

                 ⇒ $\frac{7200}{24}$

                 ⇒ 300 days

The 300th day after 7th may will lie in next march
