A clock loses 10 minutes each day. How many days will it take to reach a point where the clock will indicate the right time?

10 min = 1/6 hour per day
1/6 hour / day * x days = 12 hours
x = 6*12 = 72 days
Required Day, D = 12/h.

Here, 10 min = 10/60 h = 1/6 h.

Therefore, D = 12/(1/6) = 72 days
As we know that: 1hr =60min
Loses 10min each day :10/60=1/6
So, 1/6*?= 12
?=x
x= 72
