the minute hand, she thought that the time was 57 minutes earlier than the
correct time. The correct time was = ?
(a) 12 minutes (b) 24 minutes (c) 36 minutes past (d) 48 minutes (b)
past 5 past 5 5 past 5
Explanation:
Since the time read by the lady was 57 minutes earlier than the correct time, so the minute hand
is (60 - 57) = 3 minutes spaces behind the hour hand.
Now, at 5 o'clock, the minute hand is 25 minutes spaces behind the hour hand.
To be 3 minutes spaces behind, it must gain (25 - 3) = 22 minutes spaces.
55 minutes spaces are gained in 60 minutes.
60
22 minutes spaces are gained in (55 × 22) = 24 minutes
Hence, the correct time was 24 minutes past 5.

40. What is the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand, if the clock
shows 9:15 pm ?
(a) 165º (b) 172.5º (c) 112.5º (d) 125.5º (b)

Explanation:
The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e., 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire
360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes
in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand.
Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 × 6 = 90 degrees
Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire
360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something
o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and
minutes.
15 37
Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 60) = 4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees,
37
we multiply 30 to get ( 4 × 30) = 277.5 degrees.
Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract
to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.
41. How many degrees will the minute hand move, in the same time in which the
second hand move 5400 ?
(a 90º (b) 85º (c) 60º (d) 45º (a)

Explanation:
5400
Minute hand covers = 60 = 90º
42. At 6’o clock a clock ticks 6 times. The time between first and last ticks is 30
seconds. How long does it tick at 12’o clock ?
(a) 66 sec (b) 55 sec (c)36 sec (d) 24 sec (a)

Explanation:
General Aptitude -12 NDPEJ

For ticking 6 times, there are 5 intervals.

30
Each interval has time duration of 5 = 6 sec
At 12 o'clock, there are 11 intervals,
so total time for 11 intervals = 11 × 6 = 66 secs.
43. In every 60 minutes, the minute hand gains -------- minutes on the hour hand

44. What time will it be 18 hours from now in India, if in the USA it is 4:15 AM?
(Hint : IST = US + 9:30 hrs)
(a) 1:45 in the (b) 7:45 in the (c) 7:45 in the next (d) 1:45 in the (c)
afternoon evening morning next morning
Explanation:
We know that the time difference between India and USA is 9 hrs 30 min.
India is 9:30 hrs ahead of USA.
Time in India = 4:15 + 9:30 = 13:45 PM.
Required Time after 18 hrs = 13:45 + 18 hrs = 7:45 AM.
Hence it is 7:45 AM on the next morning
45. When the two hands are at right angles, they are ---------- minute spaces apart,

46. What time will it be in 45 minutes? Now, if the time is 4:48 pm.
Explanation:
As now, the time 4 : 48 pm after 45 min it will be
4:48 + 45 min = (4 hrs : 48 + 12 min) pm + 33 min = 5 hrs : 33 min pm.
Hence, it is 5:33 pm.
