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

=> 30H-M5+M2 degrees

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

Hence the angle

 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees

n items of which p are alike of one kind, q alike of the other, r alike of another kind and the remaining are distinct can be arranged in a row in n!/p!q!r! ways.
The letter pattern 'MESMERISE' consists of 10 letters of which there are 2M's, 3E's, 2S's and 1I and 1R.
Number of arrangements = 9!(2!)2×3!

1. Answer (c)

Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it.

Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2

2. Answer (d)

Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it.

Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's)

= 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4)
= 19 - 8
= 11.

The pattern is -95, -85, -75, -65, . . . .

$$\begin{gathered} 6760000=0.00000676×102 \\ = 0.00000676 ×102 \\ = 0.0026×106 = 2600 \end{gathered}$$

Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.
Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.
Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes.
