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.
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: 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: 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: 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: 26 min
Explanation:
Let the required number of minutes = M
Total minutes between 3o'clock and 6o' clock = 180 minutes
M + 50 + 4M = 180
5M + 50 = 180
5M = 130
M = 26 minutes.
Correct Answer: 541 times
Explanation:
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 × 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.
Siren sounds for every 5 seconds.
In 2700 seconds = 2700/5 = 540 times.
The count start after the first sound, the Siren will sound 541 times in ¾ of an hour.
