Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 1

A watch was set right at 7 am. It gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes. In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated 4:15, the true time was

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 1

Watch was set right at 7 am.
Time from 7 am to 4.15 pm = 9 hours 15 minutes = 37/7 hours
3 minutes 5 seconds of this clock = 3 minutes of the correct clock
Thus, 37/720 hours of this clock = 1/20 hours of the correct clock
Therefore, 37/4 hours of this clock = hours of the correct clock
= 9 hours of the correct clock
Therefore, 9 hours 15 minutes of this clock = 9 hours of the correct clock
Hence, the correct time is 9 hours after 7 am i.e. 4 pm.

Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 3

What time will it be 18 hours from now in India, if in USA, it is 4 hours 15 minutes ?
(Given that India is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of USA)

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 3

We know that the time difference between India and USA is 9 hours 30 minutes.
India is 9 hours 30 minutes  ahead of USA.
Time in India = 4 hours 15 minutes + 9 hours 30 minutes = 13 hours 45 minutes 
Required time after 18 hrs = 13 hours 45 minutes + 18 hrs = 7 hours 45 minutes 
Hence, it is 7 hours 45 minutes  the next morning. 

Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 4

At what angle are the hands of a clock inclined at 20 minutes past 6 a.m.?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 4

Apply direct formula to calculate the angle:
30 
∴ Required angle = 30 (Take +ve because the hour hand is ahead of the minute hand.)
= 60 + 10 = 70°

Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 5

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

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 5

Apply direct formula: 30 
Thus, required angle = 30 (Take +ve sign because the hour hand is ahead of the minute hand.)
Thus, required time = 60 + 7.5 = 67.5°

Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 6

Which of the following years has the same calendar as 1700?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 1: Clocks & Calendars - 2 - Question 6


Total number of odd days from 1700 to 1705 is remainder (7/7) i.e. 0.
So, after the year 1705, the year i.e 1706 has the same calendar as 1700.
Therefore, option c is the correct answer.

At 8:30 p.m., angular distance between hour hand and minute hand is 
When Rocky went between 7 to 8 p.m., the angular distance was 75 degrees.
Atminutes past 7 o'clock, angle made by minute hand =  
Angle made by hour hand = 
Difference = 310.9 - 235.9 = 75°
Hence, option (a) is the correct option.
