Questions and Answers

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?

A - 320/11 min past 4

B - 420/11 min past 4

C - 120/11 min past 4

D - 220/11 min past 4

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?

A - 7:20PM on Tue

B - 6:20PM on Wednesday

C - 7:20 PM on Wed

D - None of these

Answer : C

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.
