Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - Question 4

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - Question 5

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - Question 6

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - 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.

Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 8) - Question 8

Rocky went out between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock. At 8:30 p.m., he realised that the minute hand of the clock was as much behind the hour hand as the hour hand was behind the minute hand when he had gone out. At what time after he went out did Rocky look at his watch?
