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?

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 - An exact check demonstrates 8 o'clock in the morning . through what number of degrees will the hour hand pivot when the clock indicates 2 O' check toward the evening?
Answer : D
Explanation
Angle followed by the hour hand in 6 hours = (360/12*6)°= 180°
Q 6 - At what edge the hands of a clock are slanted at 15 min. past 5?
Answer : C
Explanation
Angle followed by hour hand in 21/4 hrs.=(360/12*21/4)°315°/2 Edge followed by min. hand in 15 min. =(360/12*15)°= 90° ∴ Required edge = (315/2)°-90°= 135°/2
Answer : C
Explanation
The hands of a check match 11 times in at regular intervals. ∴ The hands concur 22 times in a day.
Answer : C
Explanation
In 12 hours, they are at right point 22 times. ∴ In 24 hours , they are at right point 44 times.
Q 9 - At what somewhere around 9 and 10 o'clock will the hands of a watch be together?
Answer : C
Explanation
To be as one somewhere around 9 and 10 o'clock, the moment hand needs to pick up 45 min. spaces. 55 min. space are picked up in 60 min. 45 min. space are picked up in (60/55*45) min. or 540/11 min. ∴ The hands are as one at 540/11 min. past 9.
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.
