type 1 angle between the hands of clock Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

Question : 6 L.I.C.A.A.O., 2003

At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?

a) $\text"58"1°/2$

b) 64°

c) $\text"67"1°/2$

d) $\text"72"1°/2$

Answer: (c)

Angle traced by hour hand in 21/4 hrs =$ (360/12 × 21/4)^o = 157 1°/2$

Angle traced by min. Hand in 15 min = $(360/12 × 15)^o = 90°$

∴ Required angle = $(157 1°/2) - 90° = 67 1°/2$.

Question : 7

A clock gains 5 minutes in one hour. Therefore, the angle traversed by the minute hand in 1 hour is

a) 360°

b) 390°

c) 390.5°

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

Clearly, the minute hand traverses 65 minutes in 1 hour.

∴ Required angle = $(360/60 × 65)^o = 360°$ 

Question : 8

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

List I (Time) List II (Angle between hour hand and minute hand of a clock)
A. 1:10 PM 20°
B. 2:15 PM 22$1/2$°
C. 8:40 PM  24°
  25°
  30°

a) A-4, B-2, C-1

b) A-4, B-3, C-2

c) A-5, B-2, C-1

d) A-4, B-3, C-2

Answer: (a)

(A) Angle traced by hour hand in$ 7/6 hrs = (360/12 × 7/6)^o = 35°$

Angle traced by minute hand in $10 min = (360/60 × 10)^o = 60°$

∴ Required angle = (60° - 35°) = 25°

(B) Angle traced by hour hand in $9/4 hrs = (360/12 × 9/4)^o = 67 1°/2$

Angle traced by minute hand in $15 min = (360/60 × 15)^o = 90°$

∴ Required angle = $(90° - 67 1°/2) = 22 1°/2$

(C) Angle traced by hour hand in $26/3 hrs = (360/12 × 26/3)^o = 260°$

Angle traced by minute hand in $40 min = (360/60 × 40)^o$ = 240°

∴ Required angle = (260° - 240°) = 20°

Question : 9

An accurate clock shows 8O' clock in the morning. Through how many degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2O, clock in the afternoon?

a) 144°

b) 150°

c) 168°

d) 180°

Answer: (d)

Angle traced by the hour hand in $6 hours = (360/12 × 6)^o$ = 180°

Question : 10 [P.C.S., 2006]

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4:20, is

a) 0°

b) 10°

c) 5°

d) 20°

Answer: (b)

Angle traced by hour hand in $13/3 hrs = (360/12 × 13/3)^o= 130°$

Angle traced by min. hand in $20 min = (360/60 × 20)^o = 120°$

∴ Required angle = (130° - 120°) = 10°
