Problem:1

Find the angle between the minute hand and hour hand of a clock when the time is 7:20.

Clocks
Angle between 7: 20 = (11m/2) 30h = (11 x 20 / 2) - 30 x 7 = 100 o

Problem:2 How many times in a day, the hands of a clock are straight?

Clocks
Solution: In 12 hours, the hands coincide or are in opposite direction 22 times. In 24 hours, the hands coincide or are in opposite direction 44 times a day.

Problem:3 How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day?

Clocks
Solution: The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours The hands coincide 22 times in a day.

Data Interpretation
In interpretation of data, a chart or a graph is given. Some questions are given below this chart or graph with some probable answers. The

candidate has to choose the correct answer from the given probable answers.

1. The following table gives the distribution of students according to professional courses:

__________________________________________________________________ Courses Faculty ___________________________________ Commerce Boys girls Science Boys girls Total

___________________________________________________________ Part time management C. A. only Costing only C. A. and Costing 30 150 90 70 10 8 10 2 50 16 37 7 10 6 3 1 100 180 140 80

__________________________________________________________________ On the basis of the above table, answer the following questions:

Data Interpretation
Problem:1 The percentage of all science students over Commerce students in all courses is approximately: (a) 20.5 (c) 61.3 (b) 49.4 (d) 35.1

Solution:

Data Interpretation

Total of all science students in all courses = 50 + 10 + 16 + 6 + 37 + 3 + 7 + 1= 130 and total of all commerce students in all course = 30 + 10 + 150 + 8 + 90 + 10 + 70 + 2 = 370 Percentage of science students over commerce students in all courses = 130 x 100 / 370 = 35.1%

Data Interpretation
Problem:2 What is the average number of girls in all courses ? (a) 15 (c) 16 (b) 12.5 (d) 11

Data Interpretation
Solution: (b) Total number of girls in all courses = 10 + 8 + 10 + 2 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 50 and the number of course = 4 Average number of girls in all courses = 50 / 4 = 12.5

Data Interpretation
Problem:3 What is the percentage of boys in all courses over the total students? (a) 90 (c) 70 (b) 80 (d) 76

Solution:

Data Interpretation
= 100 + 180 + 140 + 80 = 500

(a) Total of all students in all courses

and the number of boys = 30 + 150 + 90 + 70 + 50 + 16 + 37 + 7 = 450 Percentage of boys over all students = 450 x 100 / 500 = 90%
