What is the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 4:20?
- 10°
- 20°
- 0°
- 5°
Answer: 10°. Angle = |30H − 5.5M| = |120 − 110| = 10°.
What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 7:30?
- 30°
- 60°
- 45°
- 15°
Answer: 45°. |30 × 7 − 5.5 × 30| = |210 − 165| = 45°. The hour hand has moved halfway from 7 towards 8.
How many times do the hour and minute hands of a clock coincide in a day (24 hours)?
- 24
- 22
- 11
- 44
Answer: 22. The hands coincide 11 times in 12 hours (the 11–1 o'clock meeting happens only once, at 12), so 22 times in 24 hours.
At what time between 3 and 4 o'clock do the hands of a clock coincide?
- 15 minutes past 3
- 16 minutes past 3
- 17 3/11 minutes past 3
- 16 4/11 minutes past 3
Answer: 16 4/11 minutes past 3. Hands coincide at 60H/11 minutes past H. For H = 3: 180/11 = 16 4/11 minutes past 3.
If 15 August 2025 was a Friday, what day of the week was 15 August 2026?
- Saturday
- Friday
- Sunday
- Thursday
Answer: Saturday. The year in between contains February 2026, which has 28 days, so there are 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day. Friday + 1 = Saturday.
On which day of the week did 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force, fall?
- Monday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Sunday
Answer: Thursday. Counting odd days (1600 years: 0, 300 years: 1, 49 years: 61 → 5, January 26 → 5) gives 11 → 4 odd days, which is Thursday.
If today is Wednesday, what day will it be after 61 days?
- Sunday
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Friday
Answer: Monday. 61 = 8 weeks + 5 days. Five days after Wednesday is Monday.
Which year will have exactly the same calendar as 2021?
- 2026
- 2028
- 2032
- 2027
Answer: 2027. 2021 is an ordinary year starting on Friday. Odd days for 2021 to 2026 add to 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7 = 0 extra, and 2027 is also an ordinary year, so it starts on Friday too.
Which option exactly matches: 'Rakesh Verma, 47/B Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452010'?
- Rakesh Varma, 47/B Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452010
- Rakesh Verma, 47/D Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452010
- Rakesh Verma, 47/B Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452010
- Rakesh Verma, 47/B Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452001
Answer: Rakesh Verma, 47/B Lajpat Nagar, Indore 452010. Check part by part: the others change the surname spelling, the house letter (B to D) or the PIN code.
A date is written 05/11/2024 in DD/MM/YYYY format. Which date is it?
- 11 May 2024
- 5 November 2024
- 5 October 2024
- 11 November 2024
Answer: 5 November 2024. DD/MM/YYYY puts the day first: day 05, month 11 (November), year 2024. Reading it as MM/DD gives the 11 May trap.
