Detailed Solution

Concept- In order to solve the given question first we will find the difference in time between both clocks in 1 hour and then use the unitary method to calculate the difference between 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, i.e. 13 hours.
Here, after each hour,
The time difference will widen by two minutes.
Then,
at 10:00p.., hours passed=13 
Therefore,
