time is

let t is the temperature at which clock show right timing

 

the change in period of a pendulum when the temperature is changed by  is

\Delta T=\frac{1}{2}\alpha \theta T_0

5=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (t-15) T_0

5=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (t-15) T_0

at 30 degree loss is 10

-10=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (t-30) T_0

solving t=20C
