$30\left ( n-\frac{x}{5} \right )+\frac{x}{5}$

$= 30(5 - 4) + 10 = 40^{\circ}$

Q 2 - At what time between 7 and 8 O` clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but not together?

A - 5 min. past 7

B - 5 $\frac{3}{11}$ min. past 7

C - 5 $\frac{2}{11}$ min. past 7

D - 5 $\frac{5}{11}$ min. past 7

Answer : D

Explanation

$\frac{60}{55}$ × 5 = 5$\frac{5}{11}$ min. past 7

Q 3 - At what time between 8 and 9 O`clock will the hands of a clock be in straight line?

A - 11$\frac{11}{11}$ min past 8

B - 11$\frac{10}{11}$ min past 8

C - 11$\frac{9}{11}$ min past 8

D - 11$\frac{8}{11}$ min past 8

Answer : B

Explanation

$\left ( \frac{5n - 30}{11} \right )$ × 12 min past (n>6)

$\frac{120}{11}$ = 11 $\frac{10}{11}$ past 8

Q 4 - A clock shows 9 O`clock in the morning through how many degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 3 O`clock in the afternoon?

Q 6 - At what time between 10 and 11 O`clock the two hands of a clock be coincide together?

A - 53$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 10

B - 54$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 10

C - 55$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 10

D - 57$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 10

Answer : B

Explanation

$\frac{60n}{11}$ = $\frac{60 \times 10}{11}$ = 54$\frac{6}{11}$

Q 7 - At what time between 3.30 and 4 O`clock will the hands of a clock be at right angle?

A - 32$\frac{8}{11}$ minute past 3

B - 45$\frac{8}{11}$ minute past 3

C - 35$\frac{8}{11}$ minute past 3

D - 32$\frac{5}{11}$ minute past 3

Answer : A

Explanation

It is clear from the figure that minute hand has to travel through 30 minute space.

Therefore 30 minute space can be gained in $\frac{12}{11}$ × 30 = 32 $\frac{8}{11}$ minute past 3
