Q:

At what time between 2 and 3 o'clock will the hands of a clock be together?

A) (9 + 10/11) min past 2	B) (10 + 10/11) min past 2
C) (11 + 10/11) min past 2	D) (12 + 10/11) min past 2

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (10 + 10/11) min past 2

Explanation:

At 2 o'clock, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12, i.e. they are 10 min spaces apart.

To be together, the minute hand must gain 10 minutes over the hour hand.

Now, 55 minutes are gained by it in 60 min.

$\therefore$ 10 minutes will be gained in $\frac{60}{55} \times 10$ min. = $10 \frac{10}{11}$ min.

The hands will coincide at $10 \frac{10}{11}$ min. past 2.

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:

At what time between 9 and 10 o'clock will the hands of a watch be together?

A) (49 + 3/11) min past 11	B) (49 +1/11) min past 9
C) (45 +1/11) min past 9	D) (45 +7/11) min past 11

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (49 +1/11) min past 9

Explanation:

To be together between 9 and 10 o'clock, the minute hand has to gain 45 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces gained in 60 min.

45 min. spaces are gained in $\frac{60}{55} \times 45$ min or $49 \frac{1}{11}$ min

Q:

At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a watch point in opposite directions?

A) 54 past 4	B) (53 + 7/11) past 4
C) (54 + 8/11) past 4	D) (54 + 6/11) past 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) (54 + 6/11) past 4

Explanation:

4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

50 min. spaces are gained in $\frac{60}{55} \times 50$ min. or $54 \frac{6}{11}$

Required time = $54 \frac{6}{11}$ min. past 4.

Q:

How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?

A) 11	B) 22
C) 33	D) 44

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 22

Explanation:

The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every
12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only).
So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times
