Questions and Answers

Q 1 - How many times the hands of a clock are at right angle in a day?

A - 24

B - 48

C - 22

D - 44

Answer : D

Explanation

The hands are at right angle 22 times in a 12 hours so, in 24 hours they will be 44 times at right angle so (d) is correct.

Q 2 - At 3.40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock forms an angle of?

A - 120o

B - 125o

C - 130o

D - 135o

Answer : C

Explanation

$\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{11}{3}$ = 110o and $\frac{360}{60} \times 40$ = 240o

Required angle 240 – 110 = 130o

Q 3 - The angle between hands of a clock while time is 20 minute past 2 is.

A - 35o

B - 60o

C - 75o

D - 50o

Answer : D

Explanation

the angle through which the hour hand has turned though = (20 × $\frac{1}{2}$) = 10o

Therefore required angle = 60o - 10o = 50o

Q 4 - At what time between 10 O`clock and 2 O`clock will the hands of a clock be in opposite direction?

A - 36$\frac{2}{11}$ min past 1

B - 38$\frac{2}{11}$ min past 1

C - 37$\frac{2}{11}$ min past 1

D - 39$\frac{2}{11}$ min past 1

Answer : B

Explanation

$\frac{\left ( 5n+30 \right )\times12}{11}$; n = 6

38$\frac{2}{11}$ min past 1

Q 5 - In 12 hrs, how many times both hands in opposite direction can be observed?

A - 10 times

B - 11 times

C - 12 times

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

Since in each interval, hands come opposite to each other once at a time. In 12 hours, there are 11 intervals, hence hands will be 11 times opposite in direction.

Q 6 - At what time between 9 and 10 O`clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but not together?

A - 15$\frac{4}{11}$ min past 9

B - 16$\frac{4}{11}$ min past 9

C - 17$\frac{4}{11}$ min past 9

D - 18$\frac{4}{11}$ min past 9

Answer : B

Explanation

$\frac{5n-30}{11}$ × 12 min past n,

Given n = 9, $\frac{45-30}{11}$ × 12 = 16$\frac{4}{11}$ min past 9

Q 7 - How many times the hands of a clock points towards each other in 24 hours?

A - 20

B - 21

C - 22

D - 23

Answer : C

Explanation

In general its 11 times points towards each other in 12 hours then in 24 hrs it is double i.e 22 times.

Q 8 - At what time the two hands of a clock look like together from 7 O `clock to 8 O` clocks?

A - 36min.$\frac{2}{11}$sec.

B - 37min.$\frac{2}{11}$sec.

C - 38min.$\frac{2}{11}$sec.

D - 39min.$\frac{2}{11}$sec.

Answer : C

Explanation

$\frac{60n}{11} = \frac{60 \times 7}{11} = \frac{420}{11}$ = 8min.$\frac{2}{11}$sec.

Q 9 - Calculate the angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 5.40.

A - 40o

B - 50o

C - 60o

D - 70o

Answer : D

Explanation

Required angle = 240 – 170 = 70o

Q 10 - At what time between 4 O`clock and 5 O`clock will the hands of a clock be together?

Hands of Clock

A - 21$\frac{9}{11}$ min past 4

B - 22$\frac{8}{11}$ min past 4

C - 11$\frac{7}{11}$ min past 4

D - 20$\frac{9}{11}$ min past 4

Answer : A

Explanation

$\frac{60n}{11} = \frac{60 \times 4}{11} = 21\frac{9}{11}$
