MOST IMPORTANT verbal reasoning - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on clocks topic of verbal reasoning
(a) 32.4°
(b) 37.5°
(c) 45°
(d) 47.5°
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Angle traced by hour hand in 35 min after $8 = 35 × 1°/2 = 17.5°$
At 8 : 35, min hand is at 7, and angle between 8 and 7 = 30°
∴ required angle between two hand at 8 : 35 = 30° + 17.5° = 47.5°

Question : 1
In an accurate clock, in a period of 2 hours 20 minutes the minute hand will move over
a) 140°
b) 320°
c) 520°
d) 840°
Answer »Answer: (d)
Angle traced by the minute hand in 2 hrs 20 min,
i.e., 140 min = $(360/60 × 140)^o= 840°$
Question : 2
A clock is started at noon. By 10 minutes past 5, the hour hand has turned through
a) 145°
b) 150°
c) 155°
d) 160°
Answer »Answer: (c)
Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hrs = 360°
Angle traced by the hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min, i.e., $31/6 hrs = (360/12 × 31/6)^o = 155°$
Question : 3
Through what angle does the minute hand of a clock turn in 5 minutes?
a) 30°
b) 32°
c) 35°
d) 36°
Answer »Answer: (a)
Angle traced by the minute hand in 5 minutes = $(360/60 × 5)^o = 30°$
Question : 4
Find the angle between the two hands of clock at 4 : 10.
a) 61°
b) 68°
c) 55°
d) 65°
Answer »Answer: (d)
∴ angle traced by hour hand per minute = $(1/2)^o$
Therefore angle traced by hour hand in 4 h 10 min = $[(4 × 60) + 10] × 1°/2 = 250 × 1°/2 = 125°$
∴ angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°
∴ angle traced by minute hand in 10 min = 10 × 6° = 60°
∴ required angle = 125° - 60° = 65°
Question : 5
How much angular distance will be covered by the minute hand of a correct clock in a period of 2 h 20 min?
a) 140°
b) 840°
c) 320°
d) 520°
Answer »Answer: (b)
Angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°
Therefore angle traced by minute hand in 12 h 20 min = [(2 × 60) + 20] × 6°
= (120 + 20) × 6° = 140 × 6° = 840°
Question : 6
What angle will be traced by the hands of a clock at 12 : 55?
a) $\text"87"1°/2$
b) $\text"67"1°/2$
c) $\text"57"1°/2$
d) $\text"27"1°/2$
Answer »Answer: (c)
∴ Angle traced by hour hand per minute = $(1/2)^o$
&there4 Angle traced by hour hand in 12 h 55 min (i.e., at 0 : 55) = $55 × 1°/2 = 27 1°/2$
&there4 angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°
Therefore traced by minute hand in 55 min = 55 × 6° = 330°
Therefore required angle = $360° - (330° - 27 1°/2) = 360° + 27 1°/2 - 330°$
$= 387 1°/2 - 330° = 57 1°/2$
