At 6 AM on Monday, the time is shown by the clock = 5: 56

At 7 PM on Thursday, the time shown by the clock = 7:06

Difference between the times in hours = 24 + 24 + 24 + 13 => 85 hours

In 85 Hours clock covered 10 Minutes.

To show the correct time it has to cover 4 Minutes,

Time is taken to gain 4 minutes = 4 x 85/10 => 34 Hours

The exact time when the clock will show correct time = Monday 6 AM + 34 Hours => Tuesday 4 PM
