More SSC CGL Important Questions and Answers PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) Answer (D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angle between two hands $= \\dfrac{11}{2}M – 30H$ where H is hours and M is Minutes
\nHere, H = 11 and Angle = $0^\\circ$
\n$0^\\circ = \\dfrac{11}{2}M – 30\\times11$
\n\u21d2 $\\dfrac{11}{2}M = 330$
\n\u21d2 $M = \\dfrac{660}{11} = 60$
\nHence, the required time = $11:60$ which is $12:00$
\nHence, Between 11 O\u2019Clock and 12 O\u2019Clock, the minute hand and hour hand will not coincide with each other.<\/p>\n

2) Answer (C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.
\nHere, Given time = 02 : 30, H = 2 and M = 30.
\nAngle = $\\dfrac{11}{2} \\times 30 – 30 \\times 2 = 165 – 60 – 105^\\circ$<\/p>\n

3) Answer (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the watch to show the correct time again, it should lose 12 hours.
\nIt loses 5 minutes in 1 hour.
\n\u21d2 It loses 1 minute in 12 minutes.
\n\u21d2 It will lose 12 hours (or 720 minutes) in 720 \u00d7 12 minutes = 8640 minutes = 144 hours = 6 days.
\n\u21d2Thus, the clock will show the correct time again at 6am on next Sunday.<\/p>\n

So , the answer would be option a) 6 a.m. on next Sunday.<\/p>\n

4) Answer (E)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Total time between sunday at 1 AM to monday at 11 AM =24hours + 10hours = 34 hours<\/p>\n

Now total gain in seconds in 34 hours = $\\frac{20}{24}$\u00d734= $\\frac{85}{3}$<\/p>\n

The actual time at which alarm went off is<\/p>\n

=10:59:(60-$\\frac{85}{3}$)<\/p>\n

=10:59:$\\frac{95}{3}$<\/p>\n

=10:59:32<\/p>\n

5) Answer (B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total angle in a clock is 360\u00b0.<\/p>\n

The minute hand covers this 360\u00b0 in 60 minutes. Thus ,for every minute it covers 6\u00b0.<\/p>\n

The hour hand covers this 360\u00b0 in 12 hour. Thus ,for every hour it covers 30\u00b0.<\/p>\n

So, in 8 hour ,the hour hand will cover $8\\times30\u00b0=240\u00b0.$<\/p>\n

So, the difference between hour hand and minute hand at 8 p.m will be = $\\left(360\u00b0-240\u00b0\\right)=120\u00b0.$<\/p>\n

So, option B is correct .<\/p>\n

6) Answer (D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

AM : 12:00, 1:05, 2:11, 3:16,4:22, 5:27, 6:33, 7:38, 8:44, 9:49, 10:55.<\/p>\n

PM: 12:00, 1:05, 2:11, 3:16, 4:22, 5:27, 6:33, 7:38, 8:44, 9:49, 10:55.<\/p>\n

So, both the hands coincide with each other for 22 times in a day.<\/p>\n

Now,<\/p>\n

For 1 day = 22 times.<\/p>\n

For 1 week = 22 * 7<\/p>\n

= > 154 times.<\/p>\n

7) Answer (B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hour hand of a clock moves by 30 deg when the minute had moved through 360 deg. Hence if the hour hand moves 18 deg, then the minute hand moves by $\\frac{360\\times18}{30}$ = 216 deg<\/p>\n

8) Answer (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you switch to a rotating coordinate system in which the hour hand stands still, then the minute hand makes only 11 revolutions, and so it is at right angles with the hour hand 22 times<\/strong>. In a 24 hour day you get $2\\times 22= 44$<\/p>\n

so in weekthere are 7 days<\/p>\n

so,<\/p>\n

$7\\times 44= 308 times$<\/p>\n

9) Answer (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angle between two hands $= \\dfrac{11}{2}M – 30H$ where H is hours and M is Minutes
\nHere, H = 4 and Angle = $0^\\circ$
\n$0^\\circ = \\dfrac{11}{2}M – 30\\times4$
\n\u21d2 $\\dfrac{11}{2}M = 120$
\n\u21d2 $M = \\dfrac{240}{11} = 21\\dfrac{9}{11}$
\nHence, the required time = $04:21\\dfrac{9}{11}$<\/p>\n
