- Question
Calculate the angle between the two hands of clock when the clock shows 4 : 20 p.m. ?
Options- A. 5 degrees
- B. 10 degrees
- C. 15 degrees
- D. 25 degrees
- Correct Answer
- 10 degrees
ExplanationSince at 4 : 20 the minute hand will be at 4 and the angle between them will be same as the distance covered in degree by the hour hand in 20 minutes.
Required angle = distance of hour hand = speed × time = × 20 =10 degrees.

Correct Answer: 180/11 min past 9
Explanation:
At 9 o?clock, the hour hand is at 9 and the minutes hand is at 12, i.e., the two hands are 15 min. spaces apart.
So, the minute hand should gain = (30 - 15) minutes = 15 minutes
55 minutes will be gained in 60 min.
15 minutes spaces will be gained in ((60/55) x 15) min. = 180/11 min.
The hands will be in the same straight line but not together i.e.,in 180 degrees at 180/11 min. past 9.
Correct Answer: Twenty-six minutes
Correct Answer: Tomorrow The day before yesterday was two days ago; the day after the day before yesterday was yesterday; two days after that (yesterday) is tomorrow
Correct Answer: 130 degrees
Explanation:
Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º.
Angle traced by it in 11/3 hrs= =
Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360º.
Angle traced by it in 40 min. =(360/60*40) =240
Required angle (240 - 110)º = 130º.
Correct Answer: 2 p.m. on Wednesday
Explanation:
Time from 12 p.m. on Monday to 2 p.m. on the following Monday = 7 days 2 hours = 170 hours.
The Watch gains min. or min.in 170 hrs.
Now, min.are gained in 170 hrs.
2 min.are gained in hrs=50 hrs
Watch is correct 2 days 2 hrs. after 12 p.m. on Monday i.e., it will be correct at 2 p.m. on Wednesday
Correct Answer: 31.68 years
Explanation:
We know that 1 year = 365.25 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds
But 1 billion seconds = ?
1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds
? = 1000000000 Seconds
= 31. 68 years.
Correct Answer: 60 days
Explanation:
In this problem , it has considered that 65 mins = 1hr
So mins has increased by 5 mins so multiply 5 x 24 = 120 mins extra ,
That is now per day it adds 2hr extra, so divide 1440/26 = 59.384 days =~ 60 days.
Correct Answer: 1 10/11 minutes past 2
Explanation:
Since, in one hour, two hands of a clock coincide only once, so, there will be value.
Required time
minutes past H.
Here H - initial position of hour hand = 2 (since 2 O'clock)
A° = Required angle = 0° (Since it coincides)
minutes past 2
=> minutes past 2
Correct Answer: 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.
Correct Answer: 215 degrees
Explanation:
The total angle traced by the hour hand is the angle traced in 7 hours and 10 minutes.
We know that the angle traced by the hour hand in one hour is 30º and in one minute is 1/2º.
Therefore, (30º x 7) + (10 x 1/2º) = 215º is the angle traced by the hour hand.
