Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25
Options- A. 47.5 degrees
- B. 57.5 degrees
- C. 45.5 degrees
- D. 55.5 degrees
- Correct Answer
- 47.5 degrees
ExplanationAt 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: (10 + 10/11) min past 2
Correct Answer: 24min
Explanation:
In 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 apart
Case 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: 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) =
Correct Answer: (5 + 5/11 )min past 7
Correct Answer: 32 8/11
Explanation:
55min spaces are covered in 60min
60 min. spaces are covered in (60/55 x 60) min= 65+5/11 min.
loss in 64min=(65+5/11)- 64 =16/11
Loss in 24 hrs (16/11 x 1/64 x 24 x 60) min= 32 8/11.
