Precision is based on the cycle and not the time on the face. An hour is an hour no matter what the time is on the clock.

A clock that is set ten minutes fast is as precise as an identical clock that keeps correct time?
true
A clock that is set five minutes fast is less precise than an identical clock that keeps correct time.?
No. Consider shooting at a target. If you group all your shots in a very small area in the outermost part of the target you are more precise than if you had grouped them more loosely within the bull's eye and inner circle. You would be less accurate, though. Precision is not the same as accuracy.
Two identical clock's one which is 3 seconds slow and the other which is 5 seconds slow give equally precise times?
False. Although both of them are ALWAYS incorrect, the relative error of the first one is smaller. True~ apex

A clock loses ten minutes each hour if the clock is set correctly at 12 o'clock noon what is the correct time when the clock reads 3 pm?
The correct time is 3:35pm when the clock reads 3pm. At 3pm correct time, the clock will have been running slow for 3 hours and be 30 minutes behind, reading 2:30. It will lose an additional 5 minutes to travel the 1/2 hr more, so it would be behind a total of 35 minutes.
Why is your gps clock 3 minutes slow compared to correct time?
The GPS clock is three minutes slow because there isn't as much gravity around the satellite as there is on the surface, which makes time go by more quickly.

No. A broken clock gives a very precise time, but most of the time it is wrong.
If you have a clock which is unrealiable It loses 24 mins every hour It is now showing 3am and you know that is was correct at midnight It stopped 1 hour ago what is the correct time now?
The clock looses 24 minutes each hour. That means in an hour, it will only move 36 minutes. When the clock gets to 3:00, it will have moved 180 minutes since midnight. 180:36 = 5. Therefore, after 5 real hours, the clock will be at 3:00am. But the clock stopped 1 hour ago (real time, I assume) therefore, the current real time is 6:00.
