Clock Reasoning Questions with Answers
Q-46. At what time between 5:00 to 6:00 o’clock both hands of the clock from the right angle for the first time?
a) 10 min Past 5
b) 10\frac{10}{11} min past 5
c) 15 min past 5
d) 13\frac{5}{11} min past 5
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Two right angles formed in one hour.
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=
\frac{12}{11} min gain.
Therefore in 10 min
=
\frac{12}{11}\times10
=
13\frac{10}{11} min
Hence required time
=
10\frac{10}{11} min am past 5.
Q-47. The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10:25 is ?
a) 192\frac{1}{2} 0
b) 1800
c) 197\frac{1}{2} 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 min
If 1 min = 6
0
Therefore 25 min = 150
0
The distance covered by hour hand in one minute
=
\frac{1}{2}0
Therefore in 25 min.
=
25\times\frac{1}{2}
=12.5
Angle between the both hand
= 150
0 + 12.5
0 = 162.5
0
Reflex angle = 360
0 - 162.5
0
= 197.5
0
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 \frac{13}{3}
= \frac{360}{12}\times\frac{13}{3} = 1300
Angle traced by min hand in 20 min.
=\frac{360}{12}\times20 = 1200
Required angle = 1300 - 1200 = 100
Q-49. At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?
a) 58\frac{1}{2} 0
b) 640
c) 67\frac{1}{2} 0
d)360
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Angle trace by hour hand in \frac{21}{4}
= \frac{360}{12}\times\frac{21}{4} 0
= 157\frac{1}{2} 0
Angle traced by minute hand in 15 min
=\frac{360}{60}\times15 =900
Required angle
= 157\frac{1}{2}- 900
= 67\frac{1}{2}0
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
Answer: (c)
Solution:
m=4 0, h=3
\theta=\frac{11m}{2}-30\times3
= 220 - 90 = 1300
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
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Angle traced by hour hand in\frac{17}{2} hrs
= \frac{36}{12}\times\frac{17}{2} = 2550
Angle traced by minute hand in 30 minute
= \frac{360}{60}\times30 = 1800
Required angle
= (255-180)0=750
