A - 45o

B - 40o

C - 50o

D - 35o

Answer : B

Explanation

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

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

Q 2 - If a clock started at noon, then the angle turned by hour hand at 3.45 pm is?

A - 104$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

B - 117$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

C - 97$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

D - 112$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

Answer : D

Explanation

3 + $\frac{45}{6}$ = (3 + $\frac{3}{4}$)×30 = 112$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

Q 3 - A clock strikes 5 taking 8 sec. In order to strike 9 at the same rate the time taken is

A - 14 sec

B - 15 sec

C - 16 sec

D - 17 sec

Answer : C

Explanation

Time taken for first interval = 2 sec

Time taken for 8 intervals = 2 × 8 = 16

Answer : A

Explanation

(5n±8) × $\frac{12}{11}$; n = 8

$\frac{574}{11}$ min. past 8, $\frac{384}{11}$ min past 8

Q 5 - A watch which gains uniformly is 2 minutes slow at noon on Monday and 4 min 48 sec fast at 2.40 pm on the following day. At what time it was correct?

A - 2 pm on Tuesday

B - 2 pm on Wednesday

D - 1 pm on Friday

Answer : B

Explanation

From 12 noon to 2 pm on the following day

There are 7 day and 2 hours = 170 hours

Now watch gains 2 + 4$\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{34}{5}$ min in 170 hrs

It will gain 2 min $\frac{170 \times 5}{34}$ × 12 = 50 hrs = 2 days 2 hrs.

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 - 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

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 - What time between 3 and 4 O` clock will the hands of a clock be together?

A - 18 minutes past 3

B - 15 minutes past 3

C - 16 minutes past 3

D - 20 minutes past 3

Answer : B

Hands Together

Q 10 - At what time between 7 O`clock and 8 O`clock will the hands of a clock be in same straight line but not together?

A - 6$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 7

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

C - 4$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 7

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

Answer : B

Same Straight Line

Explanation

$\frac{\left ( 5n - 30 \right ) \times 12}{11}$ min past n(n>6) here n = 7 so, 5$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 7 is correct.
