2 p.m on Tuesday

2 p.m on Wednesday

3 p.m on Thursday

1 p.m on Friday

Time from 12 p.m on monday to 2 p.m on the following monday = 7 days 2 hours = 170 hours

Therefore, The watch gains (2+4 4/5)min. or 34/5 min. in 170 hrs.

Now, 34/5 min. are gained in 170 hrs.

Therefore, 2 min are gained in (170×5/34×2) hrs = 50 hrs

Therefore, Watch is correct 2 days 2 hrs.
