5×60 56
⇒ True time interval = 61

HINTS & EXPLANATIONS ∴ True time = 1 p. m + 4 61 hrs.

1. (b) In a clock, each minute makes 6° = 5 p.m + 61 hrs. = 5 pm + 61 ×60 min.
∴ 3 minutes will make 6×3=18° 5
= 55 61 minutes past 5.
2. (b) Here H ×30 = 4 × 30 = 120°.
(Since initially the hour hand is at 4. ∴H 6. (b) Time from noon on Sunday to 3 pm
= 4). Required angle A = 90° and since, on Wednesday = 75 hours.
H × 30 > A° so, there will be two 24 hours 2 minutes of the first clock

2 ⇒ 1 hour of the first clock = 24 ×
Required time T = 11
(H × 30 ± A)
(30/721) hours of correct one.
minutes past H. ⇒75 ours of the first clock
2
∴One timing = 11
(4 × 30 + 90) minutes = 24 ×30 × (75/721) hours of correct
past 4 one
2 = 54000/721 hours = 74 hours 53.7 min
= 38 minutes past 4.

Hence the answer is 2:54 PM
Or 4: 38 approx.

In 30 minutes, Minute Hand will gain

= 150 + 15 = 165° This will happen when the Minute Hand
∴Angle between Hour Hand and Minute gains 15 minutes’ space over Hour
Hand = 165 -60 = 105° Hand.
4. (c) In 1 hour, the minute hand gains Time taken by Minutes Hand to gain 15

i.e. in 60 minute, the minute hand gains 1 15

330° over the hour hand. 4 4
∴In 16 minutes, the minute hand gains 1 11 = 16 11 minutes.
330° Hence the Hands are opposite to each

5. (a) Time interval indicated by incorrect other at 1611 minutes past 9.
clock = 6 p.m -1 p.m= 5 hrs. 8. (a) The clock gains 15 min in 24 hours.
Time gained by incorrect clock in one Therefore, in 16 hours, it will gain 10
hour minutes.

be 4.10 am.
Using the formula,
True time interval
