Time & Date


Question No 1

What is the angle between the two hands of a clock when the time shown by the clock is 5:30 p.m. ?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
q = 11/2 m ? 30h = 11/2 *30 - 30 *5 = 165-150 = 15 degree

.

Question No 2

What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) = 6 odd days

From January to 28 May (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days

So, 148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 = 0 odd day.

Hence Given day is Sunday.

Question No 3

On 8th Dec, 2007 Saturday falls.What day of the week was it on 8th Dec, 2006?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.

So, the day on 8th Dec, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 8th Dec, 2006.

But, 8th Dec, 2007 is Saturday.

Hence, 8th Dec, 2006 is Friday..

Question No 4

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

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Angle traced by hour hand in 21/4 hrs = (360/12 * 21/4) = 157.5 degree

Angle traced by minute hand in 15 min = (360/60 * 15) = 90 degree

So, required angle = (157.5 - 90) = 67.5 degree.

Question No 5

If a light flashes every 6 seconds, how many times will it flash in 3/4 of an hour?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
3/4 of an hour = 3/4 * 60 * 60 = 2700

Light will flash in 6 seconds = 2700/6 = 450 times.

Question No 6

How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once, i.e., at 12 o'clock).

The hands overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes. So, the hands coincide 22 times in a day..

Question No 7

The last day of a century cannot be ...

Select the correct answer

Solution!
100 years contain 5 odd days.

So, last day of 1st century is Friday.

200 years contain (5 x 2) = 3 odd days.

So, Last day of 2nd century is Wednesday.

300 years contain (5 x 3) = 15 = 1 odd day.

So, Last day of 3rd century is Monday.

400 years contain 0 odd day.

So, Last day of 4th century is Sunday.

This cycle is repeated.
Hence Last day of a century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday..

Question No 8

The time in a clock is 20 minute past 2. Find the angle between the hands of the clock.

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Time is 2.20.
Hour hand at 2 (nearly) and minute hand at 4.

Angle between 2 and 4 is 60 degrees [(360/12) * (4-2)]

Angle made by the hour hand in 20 minutes is 10 degrees, since it turns through 1/2 degrees in a minute.

Therefore, angle between the hands is 60 degrees - 10 degrees = 50 degrees.

Question No 9

Which year has the same calendar as 1700 ?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Year 1700 has 1 odd day
1701 has 1 odd day
1702 has 1 odd day
1703 has 1 odd day
1704 has 2 odd day
1705 has 1 odd day

Hence, 1706 will has same calender..

Question No 10

How many years have 29 days in February from 2001 to 2100.

Select the correct answer

Solution!
100th year is not a leap year.
So 24 February's has 29 days..

Question No 11

An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how many degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours = (360/12)*6 = 180 degree.

Question No 12

What will be the day of the week 15th August, 2010?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 odd days = 4 odd days.

From January to 15 August (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days

227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7.

Hence, Given day is Sunday..

Question No 13

A clock is started at noon.By 10 minutes past 5, the hour hand has turned through ...

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360 degree

Angle traced by hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min. i.e.,
31/6 hrs = (360/12 * 31/6) = 155 degree.

Question No 14

Reaching a party day before yesterday, I found myself two days late. If day after tomorrow is Friday. On what day was the party scheduled to be held?

Question No 16

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
At 1 o'clock the minute hand points to the 12 and the hour hand points to the 1.

So we need to find the angle between the 12 and the 1.

There are 12 total numbers on the clock and total angle on complete turn of the clock is 360 degree, so each one must be 360/12 = 30 degree.

So the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock is 30 degree..

Question No 17

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4:20, is ?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Angle traced by hour hand in 13/3 hrs = (360/12 * 13/3) = 130 degree

Angle traced by minute hand in 20 min = (360/60 * 20) = 120 degree

So, required angle = 130 - 120 = 10 degree.

Question No 18

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 2:30?

Select the correct answer

Solution!
Hour hand is nearly at 2
Minute hand is at 6

Angle between 2 and 6 is 120 degree.

Hour hand move 1/2 degree in one minute.

In 30 Minutes hour hand will move 1/2 * 30 = 15 degree

Hence, Angle between hands is 120 - 15 = 105 degree.

Question No 19

If 7th of the month falls two days after Wednesday. What day of the week will precede the 18th of month?

Select the correct answer

Year 2007 has 1 odd day
2008 has 2 odd day
2009 has 1 odd day
2010 has 1 odd day
2011 has 1 odd day
2012 has 2 odd day
2013 has 1 odd day
2014 has 1 odd day
2015 has 1 odd day
2016 has 2 odd day
