On a dual boot system, every time the system is booted back into Linux the time has been set backward by one day. Which of the following commands…

The command that will correct the problem of the time being set backward by one day on a dual

boot system is hwclock --systohc --localtime. This command will set the hardware clock (RTC) to the

current system time and use the local time standard instead of UTC12. This will prevent the time

inconsistency issue that occurs when dual booting Linux and Windows, as Windows assumes that the

hardware clock is using local time while Linux assumes that it is using UTC34. By using the same time

standard for both operating systems, the time will be displayed correctly on both Linux and

Windows.

The other commands are either invalid or ineffective for solving the problem. The date -d '+ 1

day' command will display the date and time one day ahead of the current system time, but it will

not change the system time or the hardware clock5. The ntpdate pool.ntp.org command will

synchronize the system time with an NTP server, but it will not affect the hardware clock or the time

standard6. The time hwclock command will measure the time taken by the hwclock command, which

will display the hardware clock time, but it will not change anything7.
