"Test Your Logical Reasoning Skills with These Multiple Choice Questions About Clocks"


Clocks in logical reasoning involve solving problems related to time, including calculating angles between clock hands, determining the time after a certain duration, and finding the time when given a specific angle between the hands of a clock.

 

Concept Explanation:

 

Clock Basics: A clock has two hands - an hour hand and a minute hand. The hour hand completes one full rotation in 12 hours, while the minute hand completes one full rotation in 60 minutes.

 

Calculating Angles: The angle between the hour and minute hands can be calculated using the formula:

 

Where Hour is the hour (1 to 12) and Minutes is the minutes (0 to 59).

 

Time Calculation: To calculate the time after a certain duration, you add the given duration to the current time.

 

Converting Angles to Time: To find the time when given a specific angle between the hands of a clock, you can use the formula:

 

 

Example:

 

Problem: What is the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 3:20?

 

Solution: Using the formula,
