Question:

A clock was set correct at 8 O' clock. It loses 10 minutes per hour. What will be the angle between the hour and minute hands of the clock after one hour ?

Options:

35°

40°

42°

43°

Correct Answer:

35°

Explanation:

The clock loses 10 minutes per hour.

Here, the clock shows only 50 minutes for 60 minutes ( in 1 hour ),
 
So, the formula is;
 
{ 30H - 11/2 M }
 
=> 30 x 8 - 11/2 x 50
 
=> 240 - 11 x 12
 
=> 240 - 275 
 
=> (-) 35°
 
Thus, 35° is correct.
