To solve this problem, we need to find out how much time the clock gains per hour and then calculate the time difference between 10 am and 3 pm the following day.
First, let's calculate how much time the clock gains per hour. We know that the clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours. Therefore, in 1 hour, the clock will gain 10/24 minutes.
Now, let's find the time difference between 10 am and 3 pm the following day. From 10 am to 3 pm the next day, there are 24 + 5 = 29 hours.
Finally, we can calculate the additional time that the clock gains during this period. Since the clock gains 10/24 minutes per hour, in 29 hours, it will gain (10/24) * 29 minutes.
To find the true time, we need to add this additional time to the indicated time on the clock at 3 pm the next day.
Let's calculate the true time:
Additional time gained = (10/24) * 29 minutes
Indicated time on the clock = 3 pm
True time = Indicated time + Additional time gained
True time = 3 pm + (10/24) * 29 minutes
Now, we can calculate the true time using this equation.
