Solution

The correct option is D 11 p.m.
Time from 5 a.m. on a day to 10 p.m. on 4th day is 89 hours.
Now,
24 hours - 16 mins = 23 hrs. 44 min. of this clock are the same as 24 hours of the correct clock.
i.e., 35615 hrs. of this clock =24 hrs. of correct clock.
89 hrs. of this clock =24×15356×89 hrs. of correct clock = 90 hrs of correct clock.

So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
