An electronic digital watch shows 20:07. What time should pass at the earliest after which the same digits apppear again in a different order?
checking the combinations in ascending order.
00.27
00.72
02.07
02.70
07.20
07:02
So, 00:27 is the time when all digits will reappear for the first time.
therefore, 00:27 - 20:07 = 4 hrs 20 mins will pass at the earliest.
checking the combinations in ascending order.
00.27
00.72
02.07
02.70
07.20
07:02
So, 00:27 is the time when all digits will reappear for the first time.
therefore, 00:27 - 20:07 = 4 hrs 20 mins will pass at the earliest.
