Correct Answer: 16 4/11
Explanation:
At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.
To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.55 min. are gained in 60 min.
15 min. are gained in
= (60/55 x 15)min
=16+4/11
The hands are coincident at 16 + 4/11 min past 3
Correct Answer: 172.5 degrees
Explanation:
The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e. 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire 360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand.
Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 x 6 = 90 degrees
Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire 360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and minutes.
Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 15/60) = 37/4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees, we multiply 30 to get (37/4)(30) = 277.5 degrees.
Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.
Correct Answer: 180º
Explanation:
Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours = = .
Correct Answer: 3/10
Explanation:
One hour = 60 min
18/60 = 3/10
Correct Answer: 32 8/11 min
Explanation:
55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min. 60 min. spaces are covered in (60x60/55)min. Loss in 64 min. = ((65x5/11) - 64) = 16/11 min. Loss in 24 hrs = (16x1x 24 x 60)/(11x64) min. = 32 8/11 min
Correct Answer: 88 deg
Explanation:
In one hour, the minute hand gains 330° over the hour hand. i.e., 60 minutes, the minute hand gains 330° over the hour hand. ∴ In 16 minutes, the minute hand gain over the hour hand by fraction numerator 330 degrees over denominator 60 end fraction cross times 16 degree equals 88 degree
Correct Answer: 80 deg
Explanation:
As minute hand covers, 60 degrees
Minute hand covers 4800/60 = 80°
Correct Answer: 44
Correct Answer: 90 degrees
Explanation:
Minute hand covers 5400/60 = 90°
Correct Answer: 3:16 4/11
Explanation:
Coincide means 00 angle.
This can be calculated using the formulafor time A to B means [11m/2 - 30 (A)]
Here m gives minutes after A the both hands coincides.
Here A = 3, B = 4
0 =11m/2 ?30 × 3
11m = 90 × 2 = 180
m= 180/11 = 16 4/11
So time = 3 : 16 4/11
