Since, there are 60 minutes gap between 2 PM & 3 PM.
Time needed by minutes hand after t minutes past 2 PM to show 3 PM = (60 - t) minutes
According to the question ;
60 - t = {tex}\frac{t^2}{4}{/tex} - 3
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 63 = {tex}\frac{t^2}{4}{/tex} + t
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 63 = {tex}\frac{t^2 + 4t}{4}{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 252 = t2 + 4t
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} t2 + 4t - 252 = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} t2 + 18t - 14t - 252 = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} t(t + 18) - 14(t + 8) = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (t + 18)(t - 14) = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} t + 18 = 0 or t - 14 = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} t = -18 or t = 14
Since time cannot be negative, t {tex}\neq{/tex} -18
Hence, t = 14 minutes.
