Q 1 - The two hands of a clock will be together between h and (h+1) o'clock at
A - (60/11)h minutes past h o' clock
B - (50/11)h minutes past h o' clock
Answer : A
Explanation
At h o' clock, the minutes hand is 5 h minute spaces behind the hour hand. The minute hand gains 55 min spaces in 60 mins. ∴ The minute hand will gain 5h minute spaces in 60/55 * 5h = 60h/11 minutes. ∴ The two hands will be together between 'h' and 'h+1' o' clock at (60/11)h minutes h o' clock.
Q 2 - At what time between 4 and 5 o' clock will the hands of a clock be at right angle?
Answer : B
Explanation
At 4 o' clock, the minute hand is 20 minute spaces behind the hour hand. Now, when the two hands are at right angles, they are fifteen min spaces apart. So, they are at right angles in following two cases. Case I ? When the minute hand is 15 min spaces behind the hour hand. In this case, min hand will have to gain (20-15) = 5 min spaces. = (60/55)*5 = 60/11 ∴ They are at right angle at 60/11 minutes past 4. Case II ? When the minute hand is 15 minute spaces ahead of the hour hand. In this case the minute hand will have to gain (20+15) = 35 min spaces. = (60/55)*35 = 420/11 min ∴ They are at right angles at 420/11 min past 4.
Q 3 - A watch which gains uniformly in 5 min slows at 8 o? clock in the morning on Sunday and it is 5 min 48 sec fast at 8 pm on the following Sunday. When was it correct?
Answer : C
Explanation
Time from 8 am on Sunday to 8 pm on following Sunday = 7 days 12 hours = 180 hours ∴ The watch gains (5 + 29/5) min or 54/5 min in 180 hours. Now 54/5 minutes are gained in 180 hours. ∴ 5 minutes are gained in [180*(5/54)*5] hour = 83 hr 20 min = 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes Watch is correct 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes after 8 AM of Sunday i.e. 7:20PM on Wednesday.
Q 4 - A clock is set comfortable Am. The check picks up 10 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the genuine time when the clock shows 1 pm on the taking after?
Answer : B
Explanation
Time from 8 Am on a day to 1p.m on the accompanying day= 29 hrs. 24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hrs. Of the right clock. 145/6 hrs. of this clock= 24 hrs of the right clock. 29 hrs. of this clock = (24*6/145*29)hrs of the right clock. = 28 hrs 48 min. of right clock. ∴The right time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 am This is 48 min. past. 12.
Q 5 - At 3.40, the hour hand and the moment hand of a clock from a point of
Answer : C
Explanation
Angle followed by hour hand in 12 hours= 360° Point followed by hour it in 11/3 hrs. =(360/12*11/3)= 110° Point followed by moment hand in 60 min. =360° Point followed by it in 40 min. =(360/60*40) = 240° ∴ Required Angle = (240-110)= 130°
Q 6 - The edge between the moment hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.20, is:
Answer : B
Explanation
Angle followed by hour hand in 13/3 hrs. =(360/12*13/3)°= 130° Point followed by min. hand in 20 min. = (360/60*20)°= 120° ∴ Required point = (130-120)°= 10°
Q 7 - The reflex edge between the hands of a clock at 10.25 is:
Answer : D
Explanation
Angle followed by hour hand in 125/12 hrs.=(360/12*125/12)°=625°/2 Edge followed by min. hand in 25 min. =(360/60*25°)= 150° Reflex angle= 360°-(625/2-150)°= 360°-325°/2 = 395°/2
Q 8 - How much does a watch lose every day, if its hands agree each 64 Min?
Answer : B
Explanation
55 min. spaces are secured in 60 min. 60 min. spaces are secured in (60/55*60) min. = 720/11 min. Misfortune in 64 min. = (720/11-64)= 16/11 min. Misfortune in 24 hrs =(16/11*1/64 *24*60)min.=400/11 min.
Q 9 - At what time somewhere around 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a be in the Same straight line at the same time, not together?
Answer : D
Explanation
When the check's hands are in the same straight line however not together. they are 30 moment spaces separated. At 7 o' clock, they are 25 min. space separated. ∴ Minute hand will need to increase just 5 min. spaces. 55 min. spaces are picked up in 60 min. 5 min. spaces are picked up in (60/55*5)min=60/11 min. ∴ Required time=60/11 min. past 7.
Q 10 - At what time somewhere around 5.30 and 6 will the hand of a clock be at right Points?
Answer : B
Explanation
At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. space separated. To be at right edges and that too somewhere around 5.30 and 6,the moment hand needs to increase (25+15)=40 min. spaces. 55 min. space are gained in 60 min. 40 min. space are picked up in(60/55*40)min.=80/11 min. ∴ Required time =80/11 min. past 5.
