At what time between 5 and 6 o' clock are the hands of a 3 minutes apart ?
Options- A. 24min
- B. 12min
- C. 13min
- D. 14min
- Correct Answer
- 24min
ExplanationIn this type of problems the formuae is
(5*x+ or - t)*12/11
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.
t is spaces apartCase 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11
(5*5 + 3) * 12/11
28 * 12/11 = 336/11= min
therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.
Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11
(5*5 -3 ) * 12/11
22 *12/11 = 24 min
therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 24 min past 5

Correct Answer: 180
Explanation:
Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours=(360/12)*6
Correct Answer: 11pm
Explanation:
Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.
Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.
356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.
= 90 hrs of correct clock.
So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
Correct Answer: 20 min past 7pm on wednesday
Explanation:
This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast. The watch gains min in a time of (7×24)+12 = 180 hours.
To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.
5min ->
So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM
Correct Answer: (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 min. or
Required time = min. past 4.
Correct Answer: 48 min. past 12.
Explanation:
Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.
24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
29 hours of this clock = hrs of the correct clock
= 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock.
Therefore, the correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m.
This is 48 min. past 12.
Correct Answer: (10 + 10/11) min past 2
Correct Answer: 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°
Correct Answer: 67.5 degrees
Correct Answer: 4pm
Correct Answer: 75 Degrees
Explanation:
Angle traced by hour hand in 17/2 hrs = = 255
Angle traced by min hand in 30 min = = 180
Therefore, Required angle = (255 - 180) =
