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: 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.

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: 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.

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

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Apply direct formula to calculate the angle:

∴ Required angle = 30 (Take +ve because the hour hand is ahead of the minute hand.)
= 60 + 10 = 70°

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Sunday 8 am to next Sunday 8 pm time duration 24 × 7 + 12 = 180 hrs.
In 180 hrs total gain = 10 min 48 s = 648 s
Gain of 5 min = 300 s will be obtained in  

Hence, Sunday 8 am + 83 h 20 min = Wednesday 7 : 20 p.m.
