Clocks:
1)The two hands of a clock will be together between H and (H+1) o' clock
at (60H / 11)minutes past H o' clock.
2) The two hands of a clock will be in the same straight line but not
together between H and (H + 1) o' clock at
(5H−30)*(12/11) minutes past H, when H > 6
(5H+30)*(12/11) minutes past H, when H <6
3) Angle between Hands of a clock
When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle
between the two hands at M minutes past H'o clock
=30(H−M/5)+M/2 degree
When the minute hand is ahead of the hour hand, the anglebetween the two
hands at M minutes past H'o clock=30(M/5−H)−M/2 degree
4) The two hands of the clock will be at right angles between H and (H + 1)
o' clock at
(5H±15)12/11 minutes past H 'o clock
5) The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at intervalsof M
minutes of correct time. The clock gains or loses in a day by=
(720/11−M)(60×24/M) minutes.
The hands of a clock will be in straight line but opposite in direction, 22 times in a day
Odd Days
Number of days more than the complete weeks are called odd days in a given period
Leap Year
Examples:
1952, 2008, 1680 etc. are leap years.
1991, 2003 etc. are not leap years
b. Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
Examples:
400, 800, 1200 etc. are leap years.
100, 200, 1900 etc. are not leap years
Ordinary Year
≡ 5 odd days.
Similarly, the number of odd days in all 4th centuries (400, 800, 1200 etc.) = 0
