The hands of the clock are perpendicular to each other for 22 times in

12 hours and for 44 times in a day.

The hands of the clock are opposite to each other for 11 times in 12
hours and 22 times in a day.
The minute hand gain 55 minutes over hour hand per hour.

Hence x minute space to be gained by minute hand over hour hand can be
calculated as x.(60/55) or x.(12/11)

Ex: At what time between 2'O clock and 3'O clock the hands of the clock Ware
opposite to each other.
1. 34( 6/11 ) past 2'Oclock

e
2. 43( 7/11 ) past 2'Oclock

3. 56( 8/11 ) past 2'Oclock

4. 64(9/11past 2'Oclock
Solution:

m
At 2'O clock the minute hand will be at 12 as shown below
ro
ch
jk

The minute's hand to coincide with the hour hand it should trace at first 10
minute spaces and then the hands of the clocks to be opposite to each other
minute hand should trace 30-minute spaces i.e. totally it should gain
10+30=40 minute spaces to be opposite to that of the hour hand
We know that,
Minute hand gains 55-minute spaces over hour hand in 1 hour
Therefore, Minute hand gain 40-minute spaces over hour hand in 40 × (60/55)
= 43(7/11)
Hence the hand of the clock & minute will be opposite to each other at 43( 7/11
) past 2'Oclock
Therefore, the Correct option is 2'
When the clock is too fast, too slow

If a clock or watch indicates 6 hr 10 min when the correct time is 6, it is

said that the clock is 10 min too fast. If it indicates 6. 40 when the
correct time is 7, it is said to be 20 min too slow.
Now let us have an example based on this concept

Ex: My watch, which gains uniformly, is 2 min, & show at noon on Sunday, and
is 4 min 48 seconds fast at 2 p.m on the following Sunday when was it correct?

Solution: From Sunday noon to the following Sunday at 2 p.m there are 7
days 2 hours or 170 hours.

e
The watch gains 2+4 4/5 min in 170 hrs.
Therefore, the watch gains 2 min in (2 *170 * 5/34) hrs i.e., 50 hours
Now 50 hours = 2 days 2 hrs.

Problems On angles
m
Therefore, 2 days 2 hours from Sunday noon = 2 p.m on Tuesday.

Before we actually start solving problems on angles, we need to know a couple

ro
of basic facts clear:

Speed of the hour hand = 0.5 degrees per minute (dpm)

Speed of the minute hand = 6 dpm
At ‘n’ o’ clock, the angle of the hour hand from the vertical is 30n
ch

Example: 1 What is the angle between the hands of the clock at 7:20

Solution:

At 7 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 210 degrees from the vertical.

jk

In 20 minutes,

Hour hand = 210 + 20*(0.5) = 210 + 10 = 220 {The hour hand moves at 0.5
dpm}

Minute hand = 20*(6) = 120 {The minute hand moves at 6 dpm}

Difference or angle between the hands = 220 – 120 = 100 degrees

Example :2 Find the reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 05.30?

Solution:
Angle between X and Y =|(X*30)-((Y*11)/2)|

Angle between hands at 5:30

Step 1: X=5 , Y=30

Step 2: 5*30=150

Step 3: (30*11)/2 = 165

Step 4: 165-150=15

Thus, the angle between hands at 5:30 is 15 degrees.

e
Example : 3 At what time 3&4’o clock in the hands of clock together.

Solution:

So 15*60/55=16.36 min

Problems on incorrect clocks

m
Approximately we know at 03:15 hands of the clock together
ro
Such sort of problem arises when a clock runs faster or slower than expected
pace. When solving these problems it is best to keep track of the correct clock.

Example: A watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes and was set right at 8 AM.
ch

What time will it show at 10 PM on the same day?

Solution:

The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.

jk

From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.

In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20

seconds.

So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Important Points to remember:

Two right angles per hour (Right angle = 90, Straight angle=180)
Forty four right angles per day
Between every two hours the hands of the clock coincide with each other
for one time except between 11, 12 and 12, 1.In a day they coincide for
22 times.
Between every two hours they are perpendicular to each other two times
except between 2, 3 and 3, 4 and 8, 9 and 9, 10.In a day they will be
perpendicular for 44 times.
Between every two hours they will be opposite to each other one time
except between 5, 6 and 6, 7.In a day they will be opposite for 22 times.

Q 9.​ At 5 o’clock a clock ticks 5 times. The time gap between the first and last tick is 40 seconds. How
long does the clock tick when it is 12 o’clock in the clock?
1. 60 seconds
2. 95 seconds
3. 110 seconds
4. 105 seconds
5. 75 seconds
Answer: (3) 110 seconds
Solution:
If at 7 o’clock, the clock ticks 5 times, then it means that there were 4 time intervals.
Thus, the time duration of each interval = 40/4 = 10 seconds
At 12 o’clock, the clock will tick 12 times and the number of intervals shall be 11
So, the total time for which the clock ticks = 11×10 = 110 seconds

Q 10.​ At what angle will the hour hand be turned through at 10 minutes past 5, if the clock is started at

4. 150°
5. 155°
Answer: (5) 155°
Solution:

om
Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hours = 360°
We know, 5 hours 10 minutes = 31/6 hours
So, angle traced by the hour hand in 5 hours 10 minutes = ( 360 31
12 × 6 ) = 155
Thus, 155° angle is formed when the hour hand be turned through at 10 minutes past 5 and the clock is
