• Question 1 of 5 1. Question What when the time is 6:32, then what is the angle b/w the hour hand & the minute hand of a clock? a) 2° b) 4° c) 8° d) 12° Correct Answer: B Explanation Formula used = θ = 30H – (11/2)M where, H= hours, M= minutes H= 6 , M= 32 Required angle, θ = 30×6 – (11/2)32 = 4° Incorrect Answer: B Explanation Formula used = θ = 30H – (11/2)M where, H= hours, M= minutes H= 6 , M= 32 Required angle, θ = 30×6 – (11/2)32 = 4°
#### 1. Question
What when the time is 6:32, then what is the angle b/w the hour hand & the minute hand of a clock?
Explanation
Formula used = θ = 30H – (11/2)M where, H= hours, M= minutes
H= 6 , M= 32
Required angle, θ = 30×6 – (11/2)32 = 4°
Explanation
Formula used = θ = 30H – (11/2)M where, H= hours, M= minutes
H= 6 , M= 32
Required angle, θ = 30×6 – (11/2)32 = 4°
• Question 2 of 5 2. Question At what time between 1 and 2 o’ clock will the hands of a watch makes an angle of 180° a) 35(5/11) min. past 1 b) 40 min. past 1 c) 50(4/11) min. past d) 38(2/11) min. past 1 Correct Answer: D Explanation Assume that minute hand will be at 7 then hands make an angle of 180°. it contains 7 equal parts. Each part= 30° Total angle= 7 ×30°= 210° 11/2° gain in 1 minutes 210° gain in =(2/11)×210=420/11=38(2/11) min. past 1 Incorrect Answer: D Explanation Assume that minute hand will be at 7 then hands make an angle of 180°. it contains 7 equal parts. Each part= 30° Total angle= 7 ×30°= 210° 11/2° gain in 1 minutes 210° gain in =(2/11)×210=420/11=38(2/11) min. past 1
#### 2. Question
At what time between 1 and 2 o’ clock will the hands of a watch makes an angle of 180°
• a) 35(5/11) min. past 1
• b) 40 min. past 1
• c) 50(4/11) min. past
• d) 38(2/11) min. past 1
Explanation
Assume that minute hand will be at 7 then hands make an angle of 180°.
it contains 7 equal parts. Each part= 30°
Total angle= 7 ×30°= 210°
11/2° gain in 1 minutes
210° gain in =(2/11)×210=420/11=38(2/11) min. past 1
Explanation
Assume that minute hand will be at 7 then hands make an angle of 180°.
it contains 7 equal parts. Each part= 30°
Total angle= 7 ×30°= 210°
11/2° gain in 1 minutes
210° gain in =(2/11)×210=420/11=38(2/11) min. past 1
• Question 3 of 5 3. Question The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at intervals of 64 minutes of correct time. How much does the clock gain or lose in 12 hours? a) 16(5/11) min b) 16(4/11) min c) 16(6/11) min d) 16(7/11) min Correct Answer: B Explanation 60 min are gained in (60/55)×60 = 65(5/11) min. But they are together after 64 min. Gain in 65 min.= 65(5/11) -64 = (16/11)m Gain in 12 hrs = (16/11) × (12×60/64) = 180/11 =16(4/11) min. Incorrect Answer: B Explanation 60 min are gained in (60/55)×60 = 65(5/11) min. But they are together after 64 min. Gain in 65 min.= 65(5/11) -64 = (16/11)m Gain in 12 hrs = (16/11) × (12×60/64) = 180/11 =16(4/11) min.
#### 3. Question
The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at intervals of 64 minutes of correct time. How much does the clock gain or lose in 12 hours?
• a) 16(5/11) min
• b) 16(4/11) min
• c) 16(6/11) min
• d) 16(7/11) min
Explanation
60 min are gained in (60/55)×60 = 65(5/11) min.
But they are together after 64 min.
Gain in 65 min.= 65(5/11) -64 = (16/11)m
Gain in 12 hrs = (16/11) × (12×60/64) = 180/11 =16(4/11) min.
Explanation
60 min are gained in (60/55)×60 = 65(5/11) min.
But they are together after 64 min.
Gain in 65 min.= 65(5/11) -64 = (16/11)m
Gain in 12 hrs = (16/11) × (12×60/64) = 180/11 =16(4/11) min.
• Question 4 of 5 4. Question At what time between 6 and 7 are the hands of a clock 8 minutes apart? a) 24 min past 6 b) 21 min past 6 c) 18min past 6 d) 20 min past 6 Correct Answer: A Explanation Between x and (x + 1) O’clock, the 2 hands will be t min apart at (5x ± t)(12/11) min past x. Between 6 and 7 O’clock, the 2 hands will be 8 min. apart at (5 6 –8) (12/11) = 264/11 =24 min past 6. Incorrect Answer: A Explanation Between x and (x + 1) O’clock, the 2 hands will be t min apart at (5x ± t)(12/11) min past x. Between 6 and 7 O’clock, the 2 hands will be 8 min. apart at (5 6 –8) (12/11) = 264/11 =24 min past 6.

• b) 21 min past 6
• c) 18min past 6
• d) 20 min past 6
Explanation
Between x and (x + 1) O’clock, the 2 hands will be t min apart at (5x ± t)(12/11) min past x.
Between 6 and 7 O’clock, the 2 hands will be 8 min.
apart at (5 6 –8) (12/11) = 264/11 =24 min past 6.
Explanation
Between x and (x + 1) O’clock, the 2 hands will be t min apart at (5x ± t)(12/11) min past x.
Between 6 and 7 O’clock, the 2 hands will be 8 min.
