Question: 1
How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
(A) 20
(B) 22
(C) 24
(D) 48
Ans: B
The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 0’clock only).
So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.
Question: 2
How many times in a day, the hands of a clock are straight?
(A) 22
(B) 24
(C) 44
(D) 48
Ans: C
In 12 hours, the hands coincide or are in opposite directions 22 times.
∴ In 24 hours, the hands coincide or are in opposite direction 44 times a day.
Question: 3
How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day?
(A) 20
(B) 21
(C) 22
(D) 24
Ans: C
The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once i.e., at 12 o’clock).
∴ the hands coincide 22 times in a day.
Question: 4
How many times are the hands of a clock at right angle in a day?
(A) 22
(B) 24
(C) 44
(D) 48
Ans; C
In 12 hours, they are right angles times.
∴ In 24 hours, they are at right angles 44 times.
Question: 5
At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of clock be at right angles?
(A) 40 min. past 5
(B) 45 min. past 5
(C) 43$${5} / {11}$$ min. past 5
(D) 43$${7} / {11}$$ min. past 5
Ans: D
At 5 o’clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
40 min. spaces are gained in $$({60} / {55} × 40)$$ min. = $$43 {7} / {11}$$ min.
∴ Required time = $$43{7} / {11}$$ min. past 5.
