The watch gained 60 minutes over 157 minutes (2 hours and 37 minutes), which is approximately 38.2% faster than real time. The actual learning rate is 100% - 38.2% = 61.8%. However, since none of the options match this calculation, the closest option is 86.6%, which might be a misinterpretation or miscalculation in the problem context.
