Q 1 - At what point of time after 3 O`clock hour hand and the minute hand are at right angle for the first time?

A - 9 O`clock

B - 4 hrs 37$\frac{1}{6}$ min

C - 3 hrs 30$\frac{8}{11}$ min

D - 3 hrs 32$\frac{8}{11}$ min

Answer : D

Explanation

( 5n + 15) × $\frac{12}{11}$, here n = 3 therefore we get 32$\frac{8}{11}$ min past 3.

Q 2 - At what time between 4 and 5 O`clock will the hands of a watch will point in opposite direction?

A - 45 min. past 4

B - 50$\frac{4}{11}$ min. past 4

C - 40 min. past 4

D - 54 $\frac{6}{11}$ min. past 4

Answer : D

Explanation

$\frac{60}{55}$ × 50 min. = 54 $\frac{6}{11}$ min.

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 - What is the angle between two hands of a clock at 7.15?

A - 35$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

B - 36$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

C - 37$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

D - 38$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

Answer : C

Explanation

$\frac{360}{12}$ × $\frac{7}{4}$ = $\frac{210}{4}$, and $\frac{360}{60}$ × 15 = 90

Required angle = 90 - $\frac{210}{4}$ = 37$\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$

Q 5 - When two hands are in opposite direction then they are apart by how many minutes?

Answer : C

Explanation

Generally the two hands are always 30 min spaces apart

Q 6 - At which time the hands of a clock in between 11 and 12 O`clock will 6 min space apart?

A - 65$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 11 and 52$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 11

B - 64$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 11 and 52$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 11

C - 63$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 11 and 50$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 11

D - 66$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 11 and 53$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 11

Answer : D

Explanation

(5n ± x) × $\frac{12}{11}$ min past `n’; here n = 11

(5 × 11 ± 6) × $\frac{12}{11}$ = 66$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 11 and 53$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 11

Q 7 - What is the angle between two hands of a clock at 7.30?

Answer : B

Explanation

Angle turned by hour hand in 30 minute = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 30 = 15^o

Therefore required angle = 30 + 15 = 45^o

Q 8 - Ram takes 15 minutes to reach Madhu`s house, by walking. while he takes only 8 min to reach Madhu`s house by driving a vehicle. What is the difference of separation of time?

Answer : B

Explanation

(15 - 8) = 7 min.

Q 9 - The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at an interval of 70 min of the correct time. How much time in a day does the clock gain or loss?

A - $\frac{7200}{77}$ min gain

B - $\frac{7300}{77}$ min loss

C - $\frac{7200}{77}$ min loss

D - $\frac{7300}{77}$ min gain

Answer : C

Explanation

$\left ( \frac{720}{11} - x \right ) \times\left ( \frac{60 \times 24}{x} \right )$ min

$\left ( \frac{720}{11} - 70 \right ) \times\left ( \frac{60 \times 24}{70} \right )$ min = -$\frac{7200}{77}$ min(loss)

Q 10 - At what time between 3 O`clock and 4 O` clock will the hands of a clock be 4 min apart?

A - 20$\frac{8}{11}$ min past 3 and 12 min past 3

B - 20$\frac{7}{11}$ min past 3 and 11 min past 3

C - 20$\frac{6}{11}$ min past 3 and 10 min past 3

D - 20$\frac{5}{11}$ min past 3 and 9 min past 3

Answer : A

Explanation

(5n ± x) × $\frac{12}{11}$ past n = (5 × 3 ± 4) × $\frac{12}{11}$ = 20 $\frac{8}{11}$ min past 3 and 12 min past 3
