Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Tuesday
Explanation:
As per the above given question , we can say that
Number of days from January 25, 1994 to March 2, 1994 is
January + February + March = 6 + 28 + 2 = 36 days = 5 weeks + 1 odd day
? Number of odd days = 1
? Day on January 25, 1994 is one day before the day on March 2, 1994.
But March 2, 1994 was on Wednesday.
Therefore , January 1994 25 was on Tuesday
Correct Answer: 4497
Explanation:
On the basis of above given question , we know that
400 consecutive years contain 97 leap years.
? In 400 consecutive years February has 29 days 97 times and the remaining 11 months have 29th day
400 × 11 = 4400 times
? 29th day of the month occurs ( 4400 + 97 ) = 4497 times.
Correct Answer: 2 pm on Tuesday
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
We know that, any relative position of the hands of a clock is repeated 11 times in every 12 hours.
? In every 12 hours, hands coincide 11 times and are opposite to each other 11 times.
? In every 12 hours, hands are in a straight line 11 + 11 = 22 times.
? In every 24 hours hands are in a straight line 44 times.
Correct Answer: 12 noon, after 135 days
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 11 : 36 am
Explanation:
As per the given above question , we can say that
In 1 hour it increases by 6 minutes so in 6 hours it increases by 36 minutes.
Thus , required time will be 11 : 42 am .
Correct Answer: 18 6 minutes past 8 . 13
Explanation:
As per the given above question , we can say that
1. In 1 min ,minute hand moves 6 Degree
2. In 1 min,hour hand moves 0.5 Degree
Let suppose man went out at y past three i.e. 3 hours y minutes
then, minute hand will be at ( 6y ) Degree from origin.
and hour hand will be at ( 3 × 30 + y × 0.5) Degree = ( 90 + 0.5y ) Degree
Similarly ,man returned at z past eight i.e. 8 hours z minutes
then, minute hand will be at ( 6z ) Degree from origin.
and hour hand will be at ( 8 × 30 + z × 0.5 ) Degree = ( 240 + 0.5z ) Degree
And as per the given condition :-
6y = 90 + 0.5y ...... ( ? )
and 6z = 240 + 0.5z ...... ( ? )
Solve these equations , we get y = 16.36 and z =43.63
Correct Answer: 54 6 minutes past 4 11
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 44 times
Explanation:
We know that , In every hour there are two positions in which hands are at right angle.
Each of these positions is repeated 11 times in every 12 hours.
? In every 12 hours, hands are at right angles 11 + 11 = 22 times and in a day hands are at right angles 22 + 22 = 44 times.
Hence , required answer will be 44 times.
