Solution
Step 1: Determine the total time from 8 AM one day to 1 PM the next day. This is 29 hours.
Step 2: Determine how much the clock gains in 29 hours. Since the clock gains 10 minutes every 24 hours, it gains about 12.08 minutes in 29 hours (10 minutes/24 hours * 29 hours = 12.08 minutes).
Step 3: Subtract the time the clock gains from the time it indicates to find the true time. If the clock indicates 1 PM (or 13:00 in 24-hour time), the true time would be 13:00 - 12.08 minutes = 12:47.92.
So, the closest answer is 12:48 PM.
