A) Rs.180	B) Rs.120
C) Rs.480	D) data insufficient

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.120

Again after 10000,

Commission : Bonus

9 : 3

3x : x

Therefore, Bonus = $(1380 - 900) \times \frac{1}{4} = R s . 120$

Q:

Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25

A) 47.5 degrees	B) 57.5 degrees
C) 45.5 degrees	D) 55.5 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 47.5 degrees

Explanation:

At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins.

Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5°

Hence, Angle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60 - 12.5 ) = 47.5°

Q:

A watch which gains uniformly ,is 5 min,slow at 8 o'clock in the morning on sunday and it is 5 min 48 sec.fast at 8 p.m on following sunday. when was it correct?

A) 7pm on wednesday	B) 20 min past 7pm on wednesday
C) 15min past 7pm on wednesday	D) 8pm on wednesday

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 min past 7pm on wednesday

Explanation:

This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast. The watch gains $5 + 5 \frac{48}{60}$ min in a time of (7×24)+12 = 180 hours.

To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.

$\frac{54}{5} m i n \to 180 h o u r s$

5min ->

$(\frac{5}{\frac{54}{2}} \times 180)$

$83 \frac{1}{3} h r s = 72 h r s + 11 \frac{1}{3} h r s = 3 d a y s + 11 h r s + 20 m i n$

So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM
