Questions and Answers

Q 1 - At what time between 5 and 6 O`clock the hands are coincide?

A - 22 min past 5

B - 3 min past 5

C - 22$\frac{8}{11}$ min past 5

D - 27$\frac{3}{11}$ min past 5

Answer : D

Explanation

55 min. are gained by min hand in 60 mins.

25 min are gained by $\frac{60}{55} \times 25 = 27 \frac{3}{11}$ min past 5

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

Answer : C

Explanation

Angle turned in 12 hrs = 360^o

Angle turned in 11/3 hrs = ( $\frac{360}{12}$ × $\frac{11}{3}$) = 110^o

Angle turned by minute hand in 60 min = 360^o

Angle turned by minute hand in 40 min = ($\frac{360}{60}$ × 40) = 240^o

Required angle = 240 - 110 = 130^o

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 - If a clock is started at noon then angle turned by hour hand at 4.45 pm is?

A - 142$\frac{2}{4}$

B - 142$\frac{3}{4}$

C - 142$\frac{5}{4}$

D - 142$\frac{6}{4}$

Answer : A

Explanation

(4 + $\frac{45}{60}$) × 30 = 142$\frac{2}{4}$

Q 6 - At what time between 4 and 3 O`clock will the hands of a clock point in opposite direction?

A - $\frac{549}{11}$ min past 4

B - 601 min past 4

C - $\frac{600}{11}$ min past 4

D - 602 min past 4

Answer : C

Explanation

(5n + 30 )×$\frac{12}{11}$, n = 4

$\frac{50 \times 12}{11}$ min. past 4 = $\frac{600}{11}$

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

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 - Calculate the reflex angle at 9. 45 a.m.

A - 337$\frac{3}{12}$

B - 337$\frac{4}{12}$

C - 337$\frac{5}{12}$

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

$\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{117}{12} = 292\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{360}{60}$ × 45 = 270

Reflex angle = 360- (292$\frac{5}{12}$ - 270) = 337$\frac{5}{12}$

Q 9 - What is the angle in between hour hand and minute hand at 3.25?

A - $\left ( 52\frac{3}{144} \right )^{\circ}$

B - $\left ( 52\frac{4}{144} \right )^{\circ}$

C - $\left ( 52\frac{5}{144} \right )^{\circ}$

D - $\left ( 52\frac{6}{144} \right )^{\circ}$

Answer : B

Explanation

$\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{39}{12} = 97\frac{5}{144}$ and $\frac{360}{60} \times 25 = 150$

Required angle = 150 - 97$\frac{5}{144}$ = 52$\frac{5}{144}$

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

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

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