Time from 12 p.m. on Monday to 2 p.m. on the following Monday = 7 days 2 hours = 170 hours.
The Watch gains (2+4(4/5)) min. or 34/5 min.in 170 hrs.
Now, 34/5min. are gained in 170 hrs.
2 min.are gained in(170*5/34*2) hrs=50 hrs
Watch is correct 2 days 2 hrs. after 12 p.m. on Monday i.e., it will be correct at 2 p.m. on Wednesday
