If a clock strikes six times in five seconds, then what shall be the number of strikes in ten seconds made by the clock?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Six strikes leave 5 gaps spread over 5 seconds, so each gap is 1 second. In 10 seconds there are 10 gaps, which correspond to 10+1=1110 + 1 = 11 strikes.
