Two right angles formed in one hour.
Clock Reasoning Questions And Solution
At 5 o'clock,  the hands are 25 min  are space apart. To from right angle for the  first time between 5:00 to 6:00 , The minute hand has to gain
(25-15)= 10 min.
Space as in 1 min= [latex]\frac{12}{11}[/latex] min gain.
Therefore in 10 min
= [latex]\frac{12}{11}\times10[/latex]
= [latex] 13\frac{10}{11} [/latex] min
Hence required time
= [latex] 10\frac{10}{11} [/latex] min am past 5.

Q-47. The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10:25 is ?
a) [latex] 192\frac{1}{2} [/latex]0
b) 1800
c) [latex] 197\frac{1}{2} [/latex]0
d) 1950

Answer: (c) 
Solution:
At 10:25 min, Hand will be at 5  addAnd the hour hand will be some forward from 10 to 5min space = 25 minClock Reasoning Questions And Answers
If 1 min = 60
Therefore 25 min = 1500
The distance covered by hour hand in one minute
= [latex] \frac{1}{2}[/latex]0

Therefore in 25 min.
=  [latex] 25\times\frac{1}{2} [/latex]
=12.5
Angle between the both hand
= 1500 +  12.50 = 162.50
Reflex angle = 3600 - 162.50
= 197.50

Q-48. The angle between the minute hand and hour hand of a clock when the time is 4:20 is :

a) 00
b) 100
c) 50
d) 200

Answer: (b) 
Solution:
Angle traced by hour and in [latex] \frac{13}{3} [/latex]
=[latex] \frac{360}{12}\times\frac{13}{3} [/latex] = 1300
Angle traced by min hand in 20 min.
=[latex]\frac{360}{12}\times20 [/latex]= 1200
Required angle = 1300 - 1200 = 100
 [/showhide]

Q-49. At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?
a) [latex] 58\frac{1}{2} [/latex]0
b) 640
c) [latex] 67\frac{1}{2} [/latex]0
d)360

[showhide type="links49" more_text="View Answer and Solution " less_text="Hide answer "]
Answer: (c) 
Solution:
Angle trace by hour hand in [latex] \frac{21}{4} [/latex]
=  [latex] \frac{360}{12}\times\frac{21}{4} [/latex]0
= [latex] 157\frac{1}{2} [/latex]0
Angle traced by minute hand in 15 min
=[latex]\frac{360}{60}\times15 [/latex]=900
Required angle
=[latex] 157\frac{1}{2}- 90[/latex]0
= [latex] 67\frac{1}{2}[/latex]0
 [/showhide]

Q-50. At 3:40, The hour hand and the minute hand of a clock from an angle of:
a) 1200
b) 1250
c) 1300
d) 1350

[showhide type="links50" more_text="View Answer and Solution " less_text="Hide answer "]
Answer: (c) 
Solution:
m=4 0, h=3
[latex]\theta=\frac{11m}{2}-30\times3[/latex]
= 220 - 90 = 1300
 [/showhide]

Q-51. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8:30, is:
a)  800
b) 750
c) 600
d) 1050

[showhide type="links51" more_text="View Answer and Solution " less_text="Hide answer "]
Answer: (b) 
Solution:
Angle traced by hour hand in[latex]\frac{17}{2} [/latex] hrs
=[latex] \frac{36}{12}\times\frac{17}{2}[/latex] = 2550
Angle traced by minute hand in 30 minute
=[latex] \frac{360}{60}\times30[/latex] = 1800
Required angle
= (255-180)0=750
 [/showhide]
