Question 1: An alarm was set at 11 AM on Monday on a clock that was set correctly at 1 AM on Sunday, but the clock started gaining 20 seconds every 24 hours. What was the actual time when the alarm went off?

a) 10:31:40 AM

b) 10:51:20 AM

c) 10:30:00 AM

d) 11:30:00 AM

1) Answer (E)

Solution:

Total time between sunday at 1 AM to monday at 11 AM =24hours + 10hours = 34 hours

Now total gain in seconds in 34 hours = $\frac{20}{24}$×34= $\frac{85}{3}$

The actual time at which alarm went off is

=10:59:(60-$\frac{85}{3}$)

=10:59:$\frac{95}{3}$

=10:59:32

Question 2: How much does a watch lose per day if hand coincides every 64 minutes?

a) $17\frac{5}{11}$

b) $32\frac{8}{11}$

c) $\frac{32}{11}$

d) $\frac{16}{11}$

2) Answer (B)

Solution:

In 24 hours the hands of hour and minute coincide 22 times. 24 hours equals 24*60=1440 minutes.

1440/22 = 65 and 5/11 minutes.=> every 65 and 5/11 min, they coincide.

Now the clock in question coincide every 64 minutes; therefore 24 hours in your clock means 64*22 minutes or 1408 minutes.

So your clock should lose 1440-1408=32 minutes.

Otherwise, the clock gains 32 minutes as it is faster than usual.

Question 3: Find the angle between the hands at 3:30 p.m.

a) $120^\circ$

b) $75^\circ$

c) $90^\circ$

d) $105^\circ$

3) Answer (B)

Solution:

At 3:30 , the minute hand is at number 6. At 3:00 the hour hand was at number 3.

total 360 degree which is divided by 12 parts

hence , the angle between two number is 30 degree

so,

The angle between 3 and 6 is 90 degree but hour has moved 15 degree.(between 3 and 4 )

Hence the angle betweenthe two is ( 90 -15) = 75 degree.

Question 4: What is the obtuse angle formed by the hands of a clock when the time in the clock is 2:30?

a) $95^\circ$

b) $120^\circ$

c) $105^\circ$

d) $165^\circ$

4) Answer (C)

Solution:

Angle between the hands of a clock is given by the formula $\dfrac{11}{2}H – 30M$ or $30M – \dfrac{11}{2}H$ where H is hours and M is minutes.
Here, Given time = 02 : 30, H = 2 and M = 30.
Angle = $\dfrac{11}{2} \times 30 – 30 \times 2 = 165 – 60 – 105^\circ$

Question 5: What is the measure of the smaller of the two angles formed between the hour hand and
the minute hand of a clock when it is 6:44 p.m.?

a) $ 62.5^\circ$

b) $ 62^\circ $

c) $ 84^\circ $

d) $ 83.5^\circ $

5) Answer (B)

Solution:

A clock is a circle, and a circle always contains 360 degrees. Since there are 60 minutes on a clock, each minute mark is 6 degrees.

$\frac{360^\circ total}{60 minutes total}=6^\circ per  minute$

The minute hand on the clock will point at 44 minutes, allowing us to calculate it’s position on the circle.

(44 min)(6)=$264^\circ$

Since there are 12 hours on the clock, each hour mark is 30 degrees.

$\frac{360^\circ total}{12 hours total}=30^\circ per  hour$

We can calculate where the hour hand will be at 6:00.

$(6 hr)(30)=180^\circ$

However, the hour hand will actually be between the 6 and 7, since we are looking at 6:44 rather than an absolute hour mark. 44 minutes is equal to $\frac{44}{60}$th of an hour. Use the same equation to find the additional position of the hour hand.

$180^\circ + \frac{44}{60} \times 30 = 202^\circ$

We are looking for the smaller angle between the two hands of the clock. The will be equal to the difference between the two angle measures.

Required answer = $264^\circ – 202^\circ = 62^\circ$

So, the answer would be option b)$ 62^\circ $.

Question 6: What is the measure of the smaller of the two angles formed between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when it is 5:49 p.m.?

a) $119^\circ$

b) $119.5^\circ$

c) $120^\circ$

d) $120.5^\circ$

6) Answer (B)

Solution:

The hour hand moves 360 degrees every 12 hours. At 5:49, its angle is $(5 + \frac{49}{60}) \times\frac{ 360}{12} = 174.5 degrees$

The minute hand moves 360 degrees each 60 minutes, so at 15 minutes past the hour it has moved $\frac{49}{60} \times 360 = 294 degrees.$

Thus, the difference between the two hands is 294 – 174.5 = 119.5 degrees.

Question 7: If 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday, then what day of the week will be 26 February 2005?

a) Thursday

b) Saturday

c) Friday

d) Sunday

7) Answer (B)

Solution:

Given, 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday

Number of days between 29 January 2003 and January 29 2004 = 365 days

Number of days between 29 January 2004 and January 29 2005 = 366 days

Number of days between 29 January 2005 and 26 February 2005 = 28 days

Number of days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = 365 + 366 + 28 = 759 days

Number of odd days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = Remainder of $\frac{759}{7}$ = 3

$\therefore\ $The day on 26 February 2005 = Wednesday + 3 = Saturday

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 8: What day of the week was 5 February 2008?

a) Thursday

b) Monday

c) Tuesday

d) Wednesday

8) Answer (C)

Solution:

Odd days in year 2007 = 6 + 2 = 8
($\because$ 2004 is the leap year and odd days till 2000 is 0.)
Odd days in 5 February = odd days in January + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
Total odd days = 8 + 8 = 16
Odd days = 16 = 2 weeks + 2 odd days
So day of the week was Tuesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option C.

Question 9: What day of the week was 31 January 2007?

a) Monday

b) Tuesday

c) Thursday

d) Wednesday

9) Answer (D)

Solution:

Number of odd days in 2006 = 7
($\because$ number of Leap year from 2000 to 2007 = 1(2004))
Odd days in 31 January = 31
Total odd days = (31 + 7) = 38
Odd day = 38/7 = 3 remaining
The day of the week was Wednesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

Question 10: What day of the week was 29 June 2010 ?

a) Sunday

b) Monday

c) Wednesday

d) Tuesday

10) Answer (D)

Solution:

Odd day till 2009 = 7 + 2 + 2 = 11
($\because$ Year 2004 and 2008 are leap year and odd days till 2000 = 0)
Odd days in 29 June = Odd days in (January + February + March + April + May + June) =  3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 12
Total odd days = 11 + 12 = 23
Odd days = 23/7 = 2 remaining
The days of the week was Tuesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

Question 11: A watch reads 4:30. If the minute hand points East in which direction will the hour hand point?

a) North-East

b) North

c) South-West

d) south

11) Answer (A)

Solution:

According to the question, the given information is represented as shown below

$\therefore\ $The hour hand is pointing towards North-East

Hence, the correct answer is Option A

Question 12: If it was a Saturday on 10 November 2018, what was the day of the week on 15 August 2017?

a) Monday

b) Tuesday

c) Sunday

d) Friday

12) Answer (B)

Solution:

Given, 10 November 2018 was Saturday

Number of days between 15 August 2017 and 15 August 2018 = 365 days

Number of days between 15 August 2018 and 10 November 2018 = 16 + 30 + 31 + 10 = 87 days

Number of days between 15 August 2017 and 10 November 2018 = 452 days

Number of odd days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = Remainder of $\frac{452}{7}$ = 4

$\therefore\ $The day on 15 August 2017 = Saturday – 4 = Tuesday

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Question 13: What was the day of the week on 26 January 2012 ?

a) Sunday

b) Saturday

c) Thursday

d) Tuesday

13) Answer (C)

Solution:

26 January 2012 = (2011 years + period between 1-1-2012 to 26-01-2012)

odd days in 2000 = 0

in remaining 11 years = (2 leap years + 9 normal years) = (2 * 2 + 9 * 1) = 13 – 7 = 6 odd days

Total number of days in period between 1-1-2012 to 26-01-2012 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = (6 + 5) = 11 – 7 = 4 days

Hence, given day is Thursday (0 odd day means sunday, 1 odd day means mon and so on).

Question 14: What was the day of the week on 15 August 2013?

a) Thursday

b) Monday

c) Wednesday

d) Tuesday

14) Answer (A)

Solution:

15th August 2013 = (2013 years + period between 1-1-2013 to 15-8-2013)

odd days in 2000 = 0

in remaining 13 years = (3 leap years + 9 normal years) = (3 * 2 + 9 * 1) = 15 – 14 = 1 odd days

Total number of days in period between 1-1-2013 to 15-8-2013 = 227 days = 32 weeks + 3 days = 3 odd days

Total number of odd days = (1 + 3) = 4 days

Hence, given day is thursday (0 odd day means sunday, 1 odd day means mon and so on )

Question 15: If it was a Friday on 1 January 2016, what was the day of the week on 31 December 2016?

a) Sunday

b) Saturday

c) Monday

d) Friday

15) Answer (B)

Solution:

Year 2016 was a leap year

Therefore, number of days in 2016 = 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days

Now 1st january 2016 was Friday so, 30th december 2016 was also Friday

Hence, 31th december 2016 was Saturday.
