    8 : 24 P. M

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    On December 1 bright star Procyon will just be rising on the eastern horizon at 10 P. M

    Now,

    we know that Stars rise 4 minutes earlier each night

    Therefore,

    24 days later i. e after 24 nights the total early time

    = 24 days * 4 minutes per day

    = 96 minutes

    or

    = 1 hour 36 minutes early

    Hence,

    on Christmas Day the star will rise at 1 hour 36 minutes early than 10 P. M

    = 8 : 24 P. M
