Laurentian Bank of Canada Aptitude Questions and Answers - 1

Ans: D

Time lost in 1 hour = 5min.

Time lost in 6 hours = (5 × 6) = 30 min.

After 6 hours, the correct time will be 6 a.m. and the clock will show 5.30 a.m.

Ans: B

Sine, the time read by the lady was 57 minutes earlier than the correct time, so the minute hand is (60 - 57) = 3 minute spaces behind the hour hand.

Now, at 5’O clock, the minute hand is 25 minute spaces behind the hour hand.

To be 3 minutes spaces behind, it must gain (25 - 2) = 22 minute spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

22 min spaces are gained in $$({60}/{55} × 22)$$ = 24 min.

Hence, the correct time was 24 minutes past 5.

Ans: C

There are 5 intervals in 6 strikes.

Number of intervals in 5 seconds = 5.

Number of intervals in 10 seconds = 10.

So, the clock will strike 11 times in 10 seconds.

Ans: B

Time from 12 noon to 9.38 A.M. = 12 hrs + 9 hrs 38 min = 21 hrs 38 min.

= $$21{38}/{60}$$ hrs = $$21{19}/{30}$$ hrs = $${649}/{30}$$ hrs.

Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hrs = 360°.

Angle traced by the hour hand in $${649}/{30}$$ hrs

= $$({360/12} × {649/30})$$ ° = 649°

Ans: C

Number of rotations = $${72}/{12}$$ = 6.
