5 5/11 min. past 7

Answer: 5 5/11 min. past 7

Explanation

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line b
ut not together, they are 30 minute spaces [Link] 7 o'cloc
k, they are 25 min. spaces [Link] hand will have to g
ain only 5 min. spaces.55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
5 min. spaces are gained in = [(6055)×5]min.= [Link]
uired time = 5511min.past7

At 3:40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:

A
120°
B
125°
C
130°
D
135°
Answer: 130°
Explanation

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360°Angle traced by


it in 113hrs = (36012)×(113)°=110°Angle traced by [Link] i
n 60 min = 360°Angle traced by it in 40 min.= [(36060)×40]°
= 240°∴Required angle = (240−110)° = 130°

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the
time is 8.30, is:

A
80°
B
75°
C
60°
D
105°
Answer: 75°

Explanation

Angle traced by hour hand in 172hrs = [36012×172]° = 255°A


ngle traced by [Link] in 30 min = [(36060)×30]° = 180°∴
Required angle = (255−180)° = 75°

How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in a straight line but
opposite in direction?

A
20
B
22
C
24
D
48
Answer: 22

Explanation

The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the sa


me straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours. (Because betw
een 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok on
ly).So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 2
2 times.

At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a watch point in
opposite directions?

A
45 min. past 4
B
40 min. past 4
C
50 4/11 min. past 4
D
54 6/11 min. past 4
Answer: 54 6/11 min. past 4

Explanation

At 4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apa


[Link] be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces
apart.∴ Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.55 mi
n. spaces are gained in 60 min.50 min. spaces are gained i
n[(6055)×50]min .or 54611min.∴Required time = [Link]
