Basics
• Clock made by hour hand, minute hand & second hand
• For second hand 60 sec = 360°
1 sec = 6°
• Same for minute like
60 min = 360 °
1 min = 6 °
• But in hour hand 12 hours = 360 °
1 hour = 30 °
1 min = 0.5°
Type 1
• Through how many degree does hour hand in
a clock moves as the time changes
from 3 hours 12 minutes to 6 hours ?
facts
Both hands Required angle Number of times it happen
in 12 hours
To be coincident 0° 11
To be at right angle 90° 22
To be in opposite direction 180° 11
To be in straight line 0° and 180° 22
Facts & Shortcuts
• Approximately coincident is after every 65 min
• Eg: 12:00 next coincident 01:05 next coincident
02:11 next 3:16 next 04 :22 & so on
• coincident happen in 1 hour-1 time,
12 hours- 11 times &
24 hours- 22 times
• Same for opposite
• 06:00 next opp is 07:05 next 8: 11 & so on.
• Approx right angle after every 33 minutes
Most used formula
• 11/2M= (H*30 ± Ɵ)
• Where M = minute
T = Time hour hand
& Ɵ= angle between min & hour needle
Type 2
• What will be the angle between two hands of
a clock at 07:20 am ?

• What will be the angle between two hands of


a clock at 03:40?
SHORTCUT TRICK

if hour: minute =1:5 then And if hour : minute = 1:4 then


angle is minute/2 angle is = 2*minute
07:35 17.5° 09:36 72°
10:50 25° 04:16 32°
09:45 22.5° 11:44 88°
05:25 12.5° 03:12 24°

.
Type 3
• At what time between 3 & 4 , the hands of
clock co-incide ?
•
Type 4
• At what time between 7 am and 8 am the
hand of clock are in opposite direction?
Type 5
• At what time between 4 & 5 the hands of
clock are in right angle ?
Type 6
• At what time between 5 & 6 the hands of
clock are 3 minutes apart from each other ?
Type 7
• It is 8:20 in clock . What is it reflected image of
clock ?
Type 8
• A clock losses 16 min in every 24 hours. If it is
set right at 5 in the morning. Then what will
be the true when clock shows 10 pm the
fourth day?
Type 9
• Train to delhi leaves every 6 hrs . At the
information counter, I see that the train has
left the station 35 min before I reached. If the
time now is 11:45 am . What is the time for
