Q. A clock gains 5 minutes every hour. If it shows 10:00 AM now, what will be the actual time when it shows 12:00 PM?
A.
11:30 AM
B.
11:50 AM
C.
12:10 PM
D.
12:20 PM
Solution
In 2 hours, the clock will gain 10 minutes (5 minutes/hour * 2 hours). So, when the clock shows 12:00 PM, the actual time will be 12:00 PM - 10 minutes = 11:50 AM.
Q. A clock shows 8:00. What will be the angle between the hour and minute hands at 8:30?
A.
180 degrees
B.
165 degrees
C.
150 degrees
D.
135 degrees
Solution
At 8:30, the hour hand is at 255 degrees (8 * 30 + 30 * 0.5) and the minute hand is at 180 degrees (30 * 6). The angle between them is |255 - 180| = 75 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 10:10, what is the angle between the hour and minute hand?
A.
35 degrees
B.
50 degrees
C.
60 degrees
D.
75 degrees
Solution
At 10:10, the hour hand is at 85 degrees (10 hours * 30 degrees + 10 minutes * 0.5 degrees) and the minute hand is at 60 degrees (10 minutes * 6 degrees). The angle between them is |85 - 60| = 25 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 12:45, what is the angle between the hour and minute hands?
A.
135 degrees
B.
150 degrees
C.
165 degrees
D.
180 degrees
Solution
At 12:45, the hour hand is at 337.5 degrees (12 * 30 + 45 * 0.5) and the minute hand is at 270 degrees (45 * 6). The angle between them is |337.5 - 270| = 67.5 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 3:15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hand?
A.
7.5 degrees
B.
22.5 degrees
C.
45 degrees
D.
52.5 degrees
Solution
At 3:15, the hour hand is at 97.5 degrees (3 hours * 30 + 15 minutes * 0.5) and the minute hand is at 90 degrees (15 minutes * 6). The angle between them is |97.5 - 90| = 7.5 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 4:20, what is the angle between the hour and minute hand?
A.
120 degrees
B.
130 degrees
C.
140 degrees
D.
150 degrees
Solution
At 4:20, the hour hand is at 130 degrees (4 hours * 30 degrees + 20 minutes * 0.5 degrees) and the minute hand is at 120 degrees (20 minutes * 6 degrees). The angle between them is |130 - 120| = 10 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 4:20, what is the angle between the hour and minute hands?
A.
120 degrees
B.
130 degrees
C.
140 degrees
D.
150 degrees
Solution
At 4:20, the hour hand is at 130 degrees (4*30 + 20*0.5) and the minute hand is at 120 degrees (20*6). The angle between them is |130 - 120| = 10 degrees.
Q. If a clock shows 5:00, what is the angle between the hour and minute hand?
A.
150 degrees
B.
180 degrees
C.
120 degrees
D.
90 degrees
Solution
At 5:00, the hour hand is at 150 degrees (5 hours * 30 degrees) and the minute hand is at 0 degrees. The angle between them is |150 - 0| = 150 degrees.
