Explanation:

Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours=(360/12)*6

Explanation:

4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.

To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

50 min. spaces are gained in 6055×506055×50 min. or 5461154611

Required time = 5461154611 min. past 4.

Explanation:

In this type of problems the formuae is

(5*x+ or - t)*12/11

Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.

t is spaces apart

Case 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11

(5*5 + 3) * 12/11

28 * 12/11 = 336/11= 31511 min

therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.

Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11

(5*5 -3 ) * 12/11

22 *12/11 = 24 min

therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 24 min past 5

Explanation:

At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep
through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins.

Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour
hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5°

Hence, Angle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60 - 12.5 ) = 47.5°

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 90 degrees

Explanation:

Minute hand covers 5400/60 = 90°

\\6

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces
apart.

At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 125/12 hrs = (360/12 * 125/12) = 312102

Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min = (360/60 * 25) = 1500

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 17/2 hrs = (36012×172)o = 255

Angle traced by min hand in 30 min = (36060×30)o = 180

Therefore, Required angle = (255 - 180) = 75o

Explanation:

55min spaces are covered in 60min

60 min. spaces are covered in (60/55 x 60) min= 65+5/11 min.

loss in 64min=(65+5/11)- 64 =16/11

Loss in 24 hrs (16/11 x 1/64 x 24 x 60) min= 32 8/11.

10

Explanation:

In this type of problems the formulae is (5x−30)×1211

x is replaced by the first interval of given time Here i.e 8

(5*8−30)*1211

= 12011min
Therefore the hands will be in the same straight line but not

together at 12011 min.past 8.

11

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 3/10

Explanation:

One hour = 60 min

18/60 = 3/10

12

Explanation:

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360º.

Angle traced by hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min. i.e., 31 hrs = 360 x 31

º = 155º.

Explanation:

To be together between 9 and 10 o'clock, the minute hand has to gain 45 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces gained in 60 min.

45 min. spaces are gained in 6055×45 min or 49111min

14

Explanation:

In 12 hours, they are at right angles 22 times.

15

Explanation:

point to be remembered

16

Explanation:

At 2 o'clock, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12, i.e. they are 10 min spaces apart.
To be together, the minute hand must gain 10 minutes over the hour hand.

Now, 55 minutes are gained by it in 60 min.

what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a clock be at rightangle?

A) 3 5/11 B) 4 5/11

C) 5 5/11 D) 6 5/11

Explanation:

this type of problems the formulae is

(5*x + or -15)*(12/11)

Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time

here i.e 4

Case 1 : (5*x + 15)*(12/11)

(5*4 +15)*(12/11)

(20+15)*(12/11)

35*12/11=420/11=38 2/11 min.

Therefore they are right angles at 38 2/11 min .past4

Case 2 : (5*x-15)*(12/11)

(5*4-15)*(12/11)

(20-15)*(12/11)

5*12/11=60/11 min=5 5/11min

Therefore they are right angles at 5 5/11 min.past4.

At what time, in minutes, between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock, both the needles will coincide each other?

A) 11 4/11 B) 13 4/11

C) 15 4/11 D) 16 4/11

At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.

To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.55 min. are gained in 60 min.

15 min. are gained in

= (60/55 x 15)min

=16+4/11

The hands are coincident at 16 + 4/11 min past 3
