Q:

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8:30

A) 80 Degrees	B) 75 Degrees
C) 60 Degrees	D) 105 Degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 75 Degrees

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 17/2 hrs = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{17}{2})}^{o}$ = 255

Angle traced by min hand in 30 min = ${(\frac{360}{60} \times 30)}^{o}$ = 180

Therefore, Required angle = (255 - 180) = $75^{o}$

Q:

4 kg of a metal contains 1/5 copper and rest in Zinc. Another 5 kg of metal contains 1/6 copper and rest in Zinc.The ratio of Copper and Zinc into the mixture of these two metals:

A) 49 : 221	B) 39:231
C) 94:181	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49 : 221

Explanation:

Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg

Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg

Therefore, Copper in mixture = $\frac{4}{5} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{49}{30}$ kg

and Zinc in the mixture = $\frac{16}{5} + \frac{25}{6} = \frac{221}{30}$ kg

Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
