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:

If 4 (A's capital) = 6 (B's capital) = 10 (C's capital), then out of a profit of Rs. 4650, C will receive ____

A) Rs.700 B) Rs.800
C) Rs.900 D) Rs.1000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.900

Let 4A = 6B = 1OC = k. Then, A = k/4, B = k/6,  and C =k/10 .

 

A : B :C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6.

 

Hence, C's share (4650 *  6/31) = Rs, 900.
