1.(D) For 60 minutes the angle covered is 360°
So for 25 minutes difference angle is ?
 60  2?  360  25
360  25
?   150
60
2.(D) 25 minutes past 10 in the night means, 10:25 pm
25 125
10.25means10 hours 25min utes  10  hours  hours
60 12
12 hours = 360  1 hour =30°
125
So, hours  30  312.5
12
60 minutes = 360° ∴ 1 minute = 6°
∴ 25 minutes means 6° x 25 = 150°
Angle between the two hands 312.5  150  162.5
3.(C) From 2.00 am Friday to 6.30 pm Saturday we have
24 hours (till 2 am Saturday) + 12 hours (till 2 pm Saturday) + 4.5 hours = 40.5 hours
20 seconds in 3 hours
 ? seconds in 40.5 hours
 ? = 270 seconds = 4.5 minutes
Time shown = 6.30 pm + 4.5 minutes = 6 hours 34 minutes 30 seconds = 6.34.30 pm
4.(C) Tip : In one hour, MINUTE hand travels 60 minutes
HOUR hand travels just 5 minute spaces
Thus,
MINUTE hand gains ( 60  5 ) = 55 minutes over HOUR hand in 60 minutes
At 10 o'clock hour hand & minute hand difference = 50 minutes.
So to be 8 min apart, minute hand must be at ( 50  8 =) 42 minutes or (50 + 8 =) 58 minute s position
For 42 minutes, minute hand must travel 42 minutes more
In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 min.
In ? minutes it gains 42 minutes
42  60 9
  43 minutes past 10 o' clock

For 58 minutes, minute hand must travel 58 minutes more
In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 min.
In ? minutes it gains 58 minutes
58  60 3 3
?   63 minutes past 10 o' clock = 1 hour + 3 minutes
55 11 11

That means 3 minutes past 11 o' clock

Thus,
MINUTE hand gains (60 - 5) = 55 minutes over HOUR hand in 60 minutes
If the minute hand wants to meet the hour hand, it can meet only after it travels 60 minutes.
So,
In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 min.
In ? minutes it gains 60 minutes
60  60 5
?   65 minutes = Minute and hour hand meet after these many minutes
55 11
But as per the given condition,
Hands meet after 62 minutes i.e. earlier
 5  38
So the clock gains  65  62   minutes
 11  11
38
So in 62 minutes clock gains minutes

In 24 hours clock gains ? minutes
