Q-66. What time is shown by the mirror if the real time is 9: 27

(a) 3 : 33 (b) 2 : 33
(c) 3 : 27 (d) 2 : 23

View Answer and Solution

Answer :(b) 2 : 33
Solution:
Because the time 9: 27 lies b/w 1:00 to 11:00, hence we subtract this time from 11:60

Q-67. Time appears in the mirror 11 : 09. Then what time will be appear in clock?

(a) 1:51 (b) 12 : 09
(c) 12 : 51 (d) 1:09

View Answer and Solution

Answer :(c) 12 : 51
Solution:
Because the time 11: 09 lies between 11:00 to 1:00, Hence we subtract that time from 23: 60

Q-68. What is the angle between minute and hour hand at 3 : 56?

(a) 152 °
(c) 360°
(b) 228°
(d) 142°

View Answer and Solution

Answer :(d) 142
Solution:
By Angle Formula
H=3, M = 56
3 × 30° = 90°
56\times \frac{11}{2} = 308°
308°-90° = 218°
But 218° is more than 180° hence we subtract this Angle from 360°
360° -218° = 142°

Q-69. What is the angle between minute and hour hand at 12:20?

(a) 260°
(b) 110°
(c) 120°
(d) 20°

View Answer and Solution

Answer :(b) 110°
Solution:
By Angle Formula
H = 12, M = 20
12 × 30 = 360°
20\times \frac{11}{2}= 110°
360° - 110° = 250°
But 250° is more than 180° hence subtract this angle from 360°
360° - 250° = 110°

Q-70. If GO = 32, SHE = 49, then SOME will be equal to
(a) 56 (b) 58

Q-71. If AT = 20, BAT = 40, then CAT will be equal to
(a) 30 (b) 50
(c) 60 (d) 70

View Answer and Solution

Answer : (c) 60   
Solution:
AT = 20, BAT = 20 x 2 = 40
Therefore,
CAT = 20 x 3 = 60
