Time difference between accurate start and finish times = 10 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes : 10 hours = 600 minutes.

Number of 5 minute intervals in 600 minutes = 600 ÷ 5 = 120

In total the watch loses 120 x 2 = 240 seconds = 240 ÷ 60 = 4 minutes.

The time shown on the watch (at 6.30pm) is 6.26 pm.
