A clock is observed. The hour hand is exactly at the minute mark and the minute hand is six minutes ahead of it. Later, the clock is observed again. This time, the hour hand is exactly on a different minute mark and the minute hand is seven minutes ahead of it. How much time elapsed between the first and the second observations?
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 24
The hour hand is exactly on a minute mark five times per hour - on the hour, twelve minutes past the hour, twenty four minutes past, thirty six minutes past and forty eight minutes past. There are 60 divisions on a clock. Let the first division be 1, which is just next to 12.

Let X be the number of hours and Y be the number of minutes past the hour. When the hour hand is on a minute mark, the position of the hour hand is on the division and the position of the minute hand is on Y.

On the first occasion, This is equivalent to 60X = 11Y - 72.

Since Y can only take one of the values in the set {0, 12, 24, 36, 48}, it can be determined that the only legal values for the equation are X = 1 and Y = 12.

So, the time is 1:12.

Similarly, the second occasion's equation is 60X = 11Y - 84.

The only legal values here are X = 3 and Y = 24.

So, the time is 3:24.

Between 1:12 and 3:24, two hours and twelve minutes have elapsed.
