Tanvi Sen answered
To find the difference in time taken by Stone and Smith to cover the same distance, we need to convert the given time durations into a common unit (minutes) and then subtract the two values.

Stone covers a distance of 40 kilometers in 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Smith covers the same distance in 1 hour and 55 minutes.

Converting the time durations into minutes:
Stone's time = (3 hours × 60 minutes/hour) + 45 minutes = 180 minutes + 45 minutes = 225 minutes
Smith's time = (1 hour × 60 minutes/hour) + 55 minutes = 60 minutes + 55 minutes = 115 minutes

Subtracting Smith's time from Stone's time:
Stone's time - Smith's time = 225 minutes - 115 minutes = 110 minutes

Therefore, Stone takes 110 minutes more than Smith to cover the same distance.

Converting 110 minutes into hours and minutes:
110 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1 hour remainder 50 minutes

Hence, Stone takes 1 hour and 50 minutes more than Smith to cover the same distance.

So, the correct answer is option 'D' - 1 hour 50 minutes.

Total number of days in January month + Total number of days in December month =?
  • a)
    60 days
  • b)
    31 days
  • c)
    62 days
  • d)
    58 days
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilotpal Roy answered

Calculation:

To find the total number of days in January and December, we first need to determine the number of days in each month individually.

Number of days in January:
- January has 31 days.

Number of days in December:
- December also has 31 days.

Total number of days in January and December:
- To find the total number of days in January and December, we add the number of days in both months.
- Total = 31 days (January) + 31 days (December)
- Total = 62 days

Therefore, the total number of days in January and December is 62 days. So, the correct answer is option C) 62 days.

Understanding the Time Duration
To determine how long Soni watched "Tom and Jerry," we need to calculate the time from when she started watching until she finished.
Start and End Time
- Start Time: 5:00 PM
- End Time: 6:30 PM
Calculating the Duration
1. From 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM:
- This is a straightforward one-hour duration.
2. From 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM:
- This is an additional 30 minutes.
Total Duration
- Combining Both Durations:
- 1 hour + 30 minutes = 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Final Answer
Thus, the total duration of the programme "Tom and Jerry" that Soni watched is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The correct answer is option 'B'.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to determine the day of the week that follows tomorrow, given that yesterday was Wednesday.

Understanding the Days of the Week:
Before proceeding, let's establish the order of the days of the week:
- Sunday is the first day of the week.
- Monday is the second day of the week.
- Tuesday is the third day of the week.
- Wednesday is the fourth day of the week.
- Thursday is the fifth day of the week.
- Friday is the sixth day of the week.

Identifying the Relationship:
We are given that yesterday was Wednesday. To determine the day after tomorrow, we need to count two days ahead from tomorrow.

Counting the Days:
Using the order of the days of the week, we can count the days as follows:
- Tomorrow is Thursday (one day after Wednesday).
- The day after tomorrow is Friday (two days after Wednesday).

Conclusion:
Therefore, if yesterday was Wednesday, then the day after tomorrow will be Friday (option D).

If yesterday was Sunday, then tomorrow will be ________.

    Tuesday
  • c)
    Saturday
  • d)
    Wednesday

  • c)
    2 : 30

    2 : 40
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Amrutha Sen answered
Understanding the Clock Positions
When determining the time based on the positions of the hour and minute hands on a clock, it’s essential to understand how the clock is divided.
Hour Hand Position
- The hour hand is at 2.
- Each hour on the clock represents 30 degrees (360 degrees divided by 12 hours).
- When the hour hand is on 2, it represents 2 o'clock.
Minute Hand Position
- The minute hand is at 5.
- Each number on the clock also represents 5 minutes (since there are 60 minutes in total and 12 divisions).
- The position of the minute hand at 5 indicates 25 minutes past the hour (5 multiplied by 5 equals 25).
Combining the Positions
- Since the hour hand is pointing at 2 and the minute hand is pointing at 5, we can combine these:
- Hour: 2
- Minutes: 25
Conclusion
- Therefore, the time indicated by the positions of the hour hand at 2 and the minute hand at 5 is 2:25.
- Thus, the correct answer is option 'A', which is 2:25.

What is the time difference between 11 : 30 am and 1 : 00 pm?

Amrita Pillai answered
Time Difference between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm

To calculate the time difference between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm, we need to subtract the starting time from the ending time.

Step 1: Convert the time into minutes.

11:30 am = 11 x 60 + 30 = 690 minutes
1:00 pm = 1 x 60 + 0 = 60 minutes

Step 2: Subtract the starting time from the ending time.

1:00 pm - 11:30 am = 60 minutes - 690 minutes = -630 minutes

Since the result is negative, we need to add 24 hours (1440 minutes) to the difference to get the actual time difference.

-630 minutes + 1440 minutes = 810 minutes

Step 3: Convert the time difference back into hours and minutes.

810 minutes = 13 hours + 30 minutes

Therefore, the time difference between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Vineet reached home from his office at 8 : 30 pm. He took half an hour for changing clothes, had his dinner and watching news. He slept at 9 : 00 pm and took 9 hours of sleep. At what time he woke up?
  • a)
    6 : 00 am
  • b)
    9 : 00 am
  • c)
    6 : 30 am
  • d)
    6 : 30 pm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vineet's Schedule:
- Reached home: 8:30 pm
- Changing clothes, dinner, and news: 30 minutes
- Slept: 9:00 pm
- Sleep duration: 9 hours

Calculating Wake-up Time:
To find out when Vineet woke up, we need to add his sleep duration to the time he went to bed.

- Sleep duration: 9 hours
- Time he went to bed: 9:00 pm

To calculate the wake-up time, we add 9 hours to 9:00 pm.

9:00 pm + 9 hours = 6:00 am

Answer:
Vineet woke up at 6:00 am. Therefore, option A, 6:00 am, is the correct answer.
