1. Find the day of the week on 16th july, 1776.

Ans: Tuesday

Explanation:
16th july, 1776 means = 1775 years + period from 1st january to 16th july.
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd days.
100 years have 5 odd days.
75 years = 18 leap years + 57 ordinary years
= (36 + 57) odd days = 93 odd days
= 13 weeks + 2 odd days = 2 odd days
Therefore, 1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 0 odd days.
Now, days from 1st Jan to 16th july; 1776

Jan Feb March April May June July

31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days

= (28 weeks + 2 days) odd days

Therefore, total number of odd days = 2

Therefore, the day of the week was Tuesday

2 .Find the angle between the minute hand and hour hand of a click when the time is 7.20?

Ans: 100deg

Sol: Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hours = 360 degrees.

Angle traced by it in 7 hrs 20 min i.e. 22/3 hrs = [(360/12) * (22/3)] = 220 deg.
Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min = 360 deg.
Angle traced by it in 20 min = [(360/20) * 60] = 120 deg.
Therefore, required angle = (220 - 120) = 100deg.
———————————————-

3.The minute hand of a clock overtakes the hours hand at intervals of 65 min of the correct time. How much
of the day does the clock gain or lose?

Ans: the clock gains 10 10/43 minutes

Sol: In a correct clock, the minute hand gains 55 min. spaces over the hour hand in 60 minutes. To be together
again, the minute hand must gain 60 minutes over the hour hand.
55 minutes are gained in 60 min.
60 min. are gained in [(60/55) * 60] min == 65 5/11 min.
But they are together after 65 min.
Therefore, gain in 65 minutes = (65 5/11 - 65) = 5/11 min.
Gain in 24 hours = [(5/11) * (60*24)/65] = 10 10/43 min.
Therefore, the clock gains 10 10/43 minutes in 24 hours.
———————————————-

4.A clock is set right at 8 a.m. The clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the true time when the
clock indicates 1 p.m. on the following day?

Ans. 48 min. past 12.

Sol: Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.
24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
145/6 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock.
29 hours of this clock = [24 * (6/145) * 29] hrs of the correct clock
= 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock.

Therefore, the correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m.

This is 48 min. past 12.
———————————————-

5. At what time between 2 and 3 o’ clock will the hands 0a a clock together?
Ans: 10 10/11 min. past 2.

Sol: At 2 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12, i.e. they are 10 min space apart. To be
together, the minute hand must gain 10 minutes over the other hand. Now, 55 minutes are gained by it in 60
min.
Therefore, 10 min will be gained in [(60/55) * 10] min = 10 10/11 min.
