1.

) What angles is formed between the hour hand and the minute hand of a
clock at 3.40?
2.) How many degrees will the minute hand move, in the same time in which
the second hand moves 4800o?
3.) At 6′o clock a clock ticks 6 times. The time between first and last ticks is
30 seconds. How long does it tick at 12′o clock?
4.) What is the reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10.25?
5.) An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may
degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2:10 in the
afternoon?
6.) At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the
same straight line but, not together?

The hands will overlap at approximately 9:49.0909. This happens when the angle difference between the hour and minute is zero, leading to solutions involving linear equations based on their movements .

The angle between the hour and minute hand at 3:40 is 130 degrees. The minute hand will be at 240 degrees (40/60 * 360), and the hour hand will be at 110 degrees (3*30 + 40/60*30). Thus, the angle is |240 - 110| = 130 degrees .

While the second hand moves 4800 degrees, the minute hand will rotate 80 degrees. Since the second hand completes 360 degrees in 60 seconds, it will take 4800/360 = 13.33 minutes to rotate 4800 degrees. In this time, the minute hand, moving at 6 degrees per minute, will cover 13.33 * 6 = 80 degrees .

The hands will be at right angles at approximately 5:38.18 and 5:54.54. This involves calculating when the positions satisfy the right angle condition (90 degrees).

The hour hand rotates 185 degrees. The time from 8:00 AM to 2:10 PM is 6 hours and 10 minutes. In these time, the hour hand, moving at 30 degrees per hour, rotates 6*30 + 10/60*30 = 185 degrees .

The reflex angle between the hands at 10:25 is 232.5 degrees. The minute hand is at 150 degrees (25/60 * 360), and the hour hand is at 312.5 degrees (10*30 + 25/60*30). The smaller angle is |312.5 - 150| = 162.5 degrees. The reflex angle is 360 - 162.5 = 197.5 degrees .

The hands will be in a straight line but not together at approximately 7:38.182. The straight line condition, 180 degrees, happens at (180/6)*11/2 = 34 minutes and 33/11 minutes past 7 .

At 12 o'clock, it will take 66 seconds for the clock to tick 12 times. The 30 seconds corresponds to the time between the first and last tick at 6 o'clock (5 intervals of 6 seconds). At 12 o'clock, there are 11 intervals, hence 11 * 6 = 66 seconds .
