Explanation by: Mr. Dubey
Time from 5 am On a day to 3 pm on 8th day = 178 hours
Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
365/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
178 hrs of this clock = (24 × 15/356 × 89) hrs of correct clock
= 180 hrs of correct clock.
So, the correct time is 5 pm.
