Q:

At 3.40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:

A) 110	B) 120
C) 130	D) 140

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 130

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º.

Angle traced by it in $\frac{11}{3}$ hrs = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{11}{3})}^{0}$ = $110^{0}$

Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = $360^{0}$

Angle traced by it in 40 min = ${(\frac{360}{60} \times 40)}^{0}$ = $240^{0}$

$\therefore$ Required angle (240 - 110)º = $130^{0}$

Q:

The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 11:35 is ?

A) 137.5 degrees	B) 222.5 degrees
C) 192.5 degrees	D) 330 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 222.5 degrees

Explanation:

Apply the formula for finding the angle:
Angle=(30h-(11/2)m( where m stands for minutes and h stands for hours)
Hence, 30x11 - 11/2x35 = 330 - 192.5 = 137.5 degrees
The reflex angle = 360 - 192.5 degree = 222.5 degrees.

Q:

5% of a number is 25% more than another number. The difference between the numbers is 96. Then find the value of the numbers?

A) 102 & 6	B) 99 & 3
C) 104 & 8	D) 100 & 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100 & 4

Explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y.

Given

5% of x = (25% of y) + y

=> 5x/100 = 5y/4

=> x = 25y ......(1)

and also given that, x - y = 96

=> x = 96 + y .....(2)

From (1)&(2)

25y = 96 + y

=> 24y = 96

=> y = 4

From (1)

x = 96 + 4 = 100

Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.
