Q1.A clock is placed on a table such that at 6:00 pm the hour hand points to North-East. In which direction will the minute hand point at 9:15 pm?
Correct Answer: C
Tracking the hour and minute hand movement from 6:00 pm to 9:15 pm places the minute hand pointing South-West.
Q2.The statement '32 minutes after 7 o'clock is 28 minutes before 8 o'clock' is:
Correct Answer: A
32 minutes after 7:00 = 7:32. 28 minutes before 8:00 = 7:32. Since both calculations point to 7:32, the statement is True.
Q3.How many complete circles does the hour hand make in 72 hours?
Correct Answer: C
The hour hand completes one full 360-degree rotation every 12 hours. In 72 hours, it makes 72 / 12 = 6 full circles.
Q4.How many times is a right angle formed by a clock's hands in a full day?
Correct Answer: C
A right angle is formed 2 times per hour, but due to overlaps near 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, it happens 22 times in 12 hours, meaning 44 times in a full 24-hour day.
Q5.When the time on the watch is 1:30, the angle between the hour and minute hand is?
Correct Answer: B
Hour hand angle from 12 = 30° * 1.5 = 45°. Minute hand angle from 12 = 6° * 30 = 180°. Angle between them = 180° - 45° = 135°.
