∴ It covers an angle of 6 × 20m = 120° in 20 minutes. 11
Choice (A) θ = 180°, Here h = 7, we have θ = m − 30h

∴ It covers an angle of × 45 = 22 in 45 minutes. Hence, we need to take θ = 30h −
11
m and h = 7
2 2 2
Choice (D)
11
∴ 180° = 30(7) − m
3. We know that whenever minutes hand covers 6°, the hours 2

54 × m = 30 (or) m = =5
2 1° 2 11 11
Hence the hours hand covers =4 .

each other. Choice (C)
11
4. We have, θ = m − 30h
2 10. The two hands of a clock are opposite, when the angle
between the two hands is 180°. We have,
Here, m = 30 and h = 3
11
11 θ= m − 30h
∴θ= (30) − 3(30) = 165 − 90 = 75°. 2

m= = = 10 min
11 11 11 11
5. We have, θ = m − 30h
2 10
Hence, the two hands are opposite at 8hrs 10 min .
Here, m = 20 and h = 8 11
Choice (A)
11
3 ∴θ= (20) − 30(8) = |110 − 240|
2 11. Here, h = 5 and θ = 60°
=240 − 110 = 130°. Choice (D) 11
If θ = m − 30h

11 11 11
6. We have, θ = m − 30h Then, 60 = m − 30(5) or 60 = 30(5) − m
2 2 2
Here, m = 10 and h = 11 11 11
60 = m − 150 m = 150 − 60

or m = = 38 m = 16
11 11 11
7. When the hands of a clock coincide, this implies that θ = 0°
11 2
∴ m − 30h = 0 At 5 hours, 38 minutes and also at 5 hours
2 11
Here, h = 4 4
16 minutes, both the hands will make an angle of 60°.
30 × (4 )× (2) 240 9 11
∴m= = = 21 min past 4.
11 11 11 Choice (D)
Choice (B)
12. Here, h = 3 and θ = 100°
8. At 3 O’ clock, the hour hand is at 3 and the minute hand is 11
at 12. i.e., they are 15 minute divisions apart. To be If θ = m − 30h
2
together, the minute hand must gain 15 minutes over the
hour hand. We know that 55 minutes are gained in
60 minutes. 11
Then 100 = m − 30(3)
60 180 2
∴ 15 minutes are gained in × 15 = = 164/11 min

 380 6 19. The clock is uniformly losing time.
or m = = 34 minutes At 6:00 am it is showing 6:08 a.m.
11 11 At 12 noon, it is showing 11:54 am.
11 So in a span of 6 hours, the clock is losing 12 minutes.
If θ = 30h − m
2 Therefore in 1 hour, the clock is losing 2 minutes.
So to lose 8 minutes it takes 4 hrs.
11
100 = 30(3) − m So at 10:00 a.m., the clock had shown the correct time.
2 Choice (C)

11 20. Given that the clock is gaining time uniformly.

m = 90 − 100 At 1:00 p.m., it is showing 12:50 p.m.
2 And at 6:00 p.m., it is showing 6:05 p.m.
11 So in a span of 5 hrs the clock is gaining 15 minutes.
or m − 10
2 ⇒ The clock is gaining 3 minutes per hour.
So at 4:20 p.m., the clock had shown the correct time.
A negative angle is not possible. Choice (B)
6
Hence, only at one time, i..e at 3 hours 34 minutes, 21. It is given that the minutes hand overtakes hours hand after
11 every 67 minutes. But normally, it should take
both the hands will make an angle of 100°. 5
Choice (A) 65 minutes.
11
13. At 5 O’ clock, there are 25 minute spaces between the hour 5 6 17
∴67 − 65 = 1 minutes or minutes are being lost by
and the minute hands. To be at right angles, they should be 11 11 11
15 minute spaces apart. the clock for every 67 minutes.
Two cases, when the minutes hand is 15 minute spaces
17 loses
behind and ahead of the hour hand. ∴ minutes  → 67 minutes
Behind : The minutes hand should gain 25 − 15 = 10 11

10 minute spaces are gained in

60
× 10 ? → 24 × 60 minutes
55 24 × 60 × 17 159
10 = = 33 min utes . Choice (D)
= 10 past 5 O’ clock. 11× 67 737
11
Ahead: The minutes hand should gain 25 + 15 = 40 minutes 22. The two hands will be opposite to each other only once in
spaces. between 5:00 to 7:00. Hence, between 1:00 to
60 7 8 : 00 i.e. in 7 hours, it occurs only 6 times.
40 minute spaces gained in × 40 = 43 past 5.
55 11 Choice (A)
Choice (C)
23. Let the particular time be x minutes past 5.
14. In 12 hours, they are at right angles 22 times (because two x
positions of 3 O’ clock and 9 O’ clock are common). ∴x+ = 180
4
Therefore, in a day they are at right angles for 44 times.
⇒ 5x = 720 ⇒ x = 144
Choice (C)
∴ The particular time is 5 + 120 + 24 ⇒ 7 : 24 a.m.
15. Number of hours from 6 a.m. today to 6 p.m. the next day is Choice (D)
36 hours. In 24 hours the clock gains 10 minutes. Hence, in
36 hours it gains 15 minutes. So, the approximate time at 24. Let the particular time k minutes post 7.
6 p.m. on the next day is 5 hours 45 minutes. ∴ (k + 12) + 5(k + 12) = 120 + 12
Choice (D) ⇒ 6k = 60 ⇒ k = 10.
∴ The time is 7:10 p.m. Choice (A)
16. Actual time = 6 : 30, then mirror time = 12 : 00 − 6 : 30
= 5 : 30. Choice (B) 25. At 9:00 a.m., the angle between the hour hand and minutes
hand is 90°. If the hour hand is pointing towards East, then
the minutes hand should points towards South as shown
17. Mirror time = 3 : 45, then Actual time = 12 : 00 − 3 : 45
below.
= 8 : 15. Choice (C) S

18. Clock A→ uniformly gains 10 min per hour. E W

Clock B → uniformly loses 5 min per hour.
So, time difference between them after 1 hour = 15 min. N
Similarly, the time difference between them after 8 hours Choice (D)
= 15 × 8 = 120 minutes = 2 hrs.
