i think the answer of this question is 6hr

as

when 3 hrs passed after 12 the clockl shows the time 3-24*3 1:48

it will take 2 more hrs to complete 3 hrs then now the time is 5:00 measn 5 hrs and from last 1 hr the clock was stopped so th total time is 6 hr

The right time must be 5:12AM.

REASON: Since the clock looses 24 minutes every hour it should have lost 3*24 72 minutes at a clock display of 3AM. so1.12 hours must be added to get 4.12AM.Also since the clock backs 1 hour the right time must be 5:12AM.

the correct answer is 6 am...

let he actual time be n hours

by this the time shown by the faulty clock is

( n-(n*24/60)) n-0.4n 0.6n

time one hour back when the clock was stopped is 3 hours by the faulty clock which means

0.6n 3

n 5 hours

since the cloack was stopped an hour back hence the current time n+1

which is 6 am
